Network #124

Closed wisdomlight closed 3 years ago

wisdomlight commented 3 years ago

Some website return an error when trying to CopyShortURL

e.g http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/motion.html#motion.txt
returns NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource

How does one investigate where is the actual problem? thanks

Which URL shortening service do you use?

fwenzel commented 3 years ago

I use bitly and it works just fine on the URL you have here, I assume it might be a problem with the service you have chosen (or the default service). See #123 for a possible upcoming feature of a fallback shortener provider, that I might add and enable by default.

fwenzel commented 3 years ago

Closing this as duplicate of #122 , because is.gd is now broken. I will make a different shortener the default.

fwenzel commented 3 years ago

@wisdomlight FYI I just released version 5.2.0 which removes is.gd because the service is broken, and the new default is tinyurl.com -- there are also other options for you in the settings, including you can register an account bitly and use your own API key in there.
