Hi, has anyone tried this (gorgeous) package lately? all of a sudden it has stopped working... The only output I got when calling for powerthesaurus-lookup-word-at-point now is:

REQUEST [error] Error (error) while connecting to https://www.powerthesaurus.org/happen/synonyms.

Any help would be appreciated...

Same issue here!

getting the exact same issue.

manuel-uberti commented 5 years ago

I can confirm the issue too.

manuel-uberti commented 5 years ago

FWIW, I am getting 403 when hitting the URL https://www.powerthesaurus.org/ after getting the above mentioned error in Emacs.

manuel-uberti commented 5 years ago

And BTW, there is already an open issue on this: https://github.com/SavchenkoValeriy/emacs-powerthesaurus/issues/6

This issue is a duplicate of #6

I'm still getting this as of 9616249.

@matthew-piziak can you please check requests that your browser sends when you browse powerthesaurus. I think it might be not enough to pass user-agent in some cases.

Also some times I need to go to the website and check the checkbox that I'm not a robot. It works fine after that. It might be a workaround in your case as well.

I can access the URL manually in Firefox if that's what you mean.

SavchenkoValeriy commented 5 years ago

Your browser sends HTTP requests to get the page (one or more to different sources). You can track it with special plugins. One plugin for Chrome is called HTTP Trace, for example. I looked at what my browser sent to get the data from powerthesaurus and replicated it in the request, that the lisp code sends.

So, my comment was in two parts. Check that it works in the web version (:check:). And check what kind of request does your browser send so it works. It will be very helpful if you can get the request.

matthew-piziak commented 5 years ago

I still don't understand what browsers have to do with Emacs.

matthew-piziak commented 5 years ago

Oh weird. It's working for me now...

matthew-piziak commented 5 years ago

Were you asking me to compare the HTTP request in Firefox/Chrome with the HTTP request in my Emacs?
