999 status code when trying to login to linked with scrapy

Question

I am trying the Scrapy framework to extract some information from LinkedIn. This is my scraper for crawling linkedin profile. When I run this code, it shows response 999 status code on check_login_response, so I can't login to linkedin.

How can I solve this problem?
