*FAILED* Couldn't get src error

[bwhite]

I haven't been able to get the ASK function to work (both in anon and non-anon). What does the "Couldn't get src" error mean exactly? I have checked some of the urls by hand and they have the ask feature enabled/anonymous as well (I used the bot to scrape, which worked nicely).

Thanks!

Are you using public proxies by any chance?

The message means, the program tried to pull the page and wasn't able to. 9/10 this is due to public proxies not working.

If you were not using proxies, or using known working / private proxies, do let me know and we can investigate further.

I was trying public proxies yes. But I also seem to be getting a similar error when I try the regular ask function (not using proxies).

Let me run some tests this afternoon and I will get back to you with my findings. Haven't tested this function for a few weeks, so maybe something has happened at tumblrs end that requires some modifications at my end

[martin@rootjazz]

Tumblr had made a change to how the bot needed to submit the form.

All fixed now and an update will be uploaded within the hour

Thanks man!

It seems to be working better now. Still, it seems to fail 9/10 times so i'm missing a lot of blogs I had scraped. I tested the function with a txt file only asking my blog (which I know allows anon questions) and it also failed (with proxy and without). Could there still be something wrong??

I have uploaded a new version
