ScreenScraper broken

[Hybrid512]

Hi,

I tried to enable the use of ScreenScraper with my ScreenScraper account and when testing the scraper (with the utilities), I get this error :

I'm sure of my credentials, they work on the ScreenScraper website.

Also, I tried to curl the test URL and got this (with or without user/pass in http auth, or using ssid/sspassword parameter ... same issue) ... looks like ScreenScraper itself might be broken :

curl "https://USERID:USERPASS@www.screenscraper.fr/api2/ssuserInfos.php"

Hi, I think the issue is fixed now. Problem was malformed URLs because of encoding problems. Please test and if OK close the issue.
