ShashChess does not get a book move from http://www.chessdb.cn/cdb.php #59

Describe the issue

For some reason ShashChess is not getting book moves from the Chessdb.cn site http://www.chessdb.cn/cdb.php. I checked this on multiple versions of ShashChess and doesn't seem to be working. I also checked that my pc and location were able to access the site http://www.chessdb.cn/cdb.php without issues. I also checked this from another PC and also got the same results where the book moves are coming through and when this happens the engine just starts its own thinking rather than getting a live book move. This was checked from the starting position mainly.

Expected behavior

It should be able to return a live book move untill it runs out of live book moves.

Steps to reproduce

This can be tested from the starting position or any position that not too deep from the starting position.

Anything else?

No response

Operating system

I had been testing this ever few days and seems like for the last few weeks this was not getting book moves from the chessdb site but today was repeatedly testing this and now seems to be working fine maybe it was a load issue or something with their web api interface but im not sure. You can close this out this issue
