This morning when I attempted to access my primary instance of River5 I observed an ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED message. This instance is hosted on Google Cloud and River5 has been running non-stop for over two years. It looks like there is a bug in urlfeed.toLowerCase() that causes a TypeError: Cannot read property ‘toLowerCase’ of undefined.

The interesting thing is that same error occurred on a second instance of River5 that is running a newer version of the code. I’ve restarted both instances, really no harm, no foul.
