I have created a script block to perform a simple configuration pull from all nodes listed in the Beem nodelist class.

Beem NodeList on Github

The following code was leveraged:

from beem import Steem
from beem.account import Account
from beem.comment import Comment
from beem.nodelist import NodeList

status = []

for n in nodes:
    Connectivity = {}
    Configuration = {}
    Account_Class = {}
    Comment_Class = {}
    try:
        stm = Steem(node=n,num_retries=1,num_retries_call=1)
        Connectivity = {'Connectivity': True, 'Error': 'n/a'}
    except Exception as e:
        Connectivity = {'Connectivity': False, 'Error': e}
        status.append({'Node':n,'Connectivity': 'No','Configuration':'n/a','Account':'n/a','Comment':'n/a'})
        continue
    try:
        stm.get_config()
        print("Obtained config from node "+n)
        Configuration = {'Get_Config':'Success', 'Error': 'n/a'}
    except Exception as e:
        Configuration = {'Get_Config':'Failure', 'Error': e}
        Configuration = False
    try:
        a = Account('anthonyadavisii',steem_instance=stm)
        print("Obtained account information")
        Account_Class = {'Account_Class':'Success', 'Error': 'n/a'}
    except Exception as e:
        print("Failed to obtain account information")
        Account_Class = {'Account_Class':'Success', 'Error': e}
    try:
        c = Comment('@anthonyadavisii/sfr-bot-troubleshooting-session-1-node-issues-beem-python',steem_instance=stm)
        print("Obtained comment information for "+c.author+"'s post")
        Comment_Class = {'Comment_Class':'Success', 'Error': 'n/a'}
    except Exception as e:
        print("Failed to obtain comment and/or metadata")
        Comment_Class = {'Comment_Class':'Failure', 'Error': e}
    status.append({'Node':n,'Connectivity': Connectivity,'Configuration':Configuration,'Account':Account_Class,'Comment':Comment_Class})

My findings are as follows:

Node	Connectivity	Configuration	Account	Comment
https://steemd.minnowsupportproject.org	TRUE	TRUE	TRUE	TRUE
https://rpc.usesteem.com	FALSE	FALSE	FALSE	FALSE
https://anyx.io	TRUE	TRUE	TRUE	TRUE
https://api.steemit.com	TRUE	TRUE	TRUE	TRUE
https://steemd.privex.io	TRUE	TRUE	TRUE	TRUE
http://anyx.io	TRUE	TRUE	TRUE	TRUE
https://appbasetest.timcliff.com	FALSE	FALSE	FALSE	FALSE
https://api.steem.house	TRUE	TRUE	TRUE	TRUE

Recieved a Bad Gateway error attempting to connect to @timcliff's node and the following was observed on @themarkymark's node. Not sure what to make of the latter case but the former is likely just offline.

Error: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='rpc.usesteem.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: / (Caused by SSLError(CertificateError("hostname 'rpc.usesteem.com' doesn't match either of 'steemit.com', '*.steemit.com'",),))
Lost connection or internal error on node: https://rpc.usesteem.com (1/1)

Just for shits and gigs, I've attempted a non-secure socket connection and it works without issue. Due to the possibility of a man-in-the-middle attack, I would advise to use caution. Although, the cryptography should stay client side. Other information may be visible. I think the prospect of a hacker viewing said communication is low but that's just my opinion so take it with a grain.

I'm going to give it some time (couple days or so), check again for consistency and then submit a PR if appropriate. I'm sure Marky is already aware of this issue but hopefully this helps in terms of situational awareness for others. Thanks!
