Failed to load dilbert.com #60

Closed JonnyTech closed 3 years ago

JonnyTech commented 3 years ago

The app stopped working this week. A message shows dilbert.com is not available. Loading failed. although the page loads correctly in a browser.

Uninstalling and reinstalling does not fix it. The strange thing is that it loads previous strips correctly when swiping back. It is just the current day that fails, daily.

@JonnyTech cheers, dilbert.com is probably available, but their HTML changed, we do not use API, but parse HTML Previous strips are loaded because they are cached, if you'd clear the app cache, it would start failing for historic strips as well

[ ] Change validation message, to reflect on availability / content parsing error
[ ] Update parsing code

Well that's strange, I've just checked, and it's working correctly today for me, could you maybe check/post logcat ? 2020-11-11 correct URL is https://assets.amuniversal.com/f25312c0fb5b01382ef9005056a9545d and it should be in logcat, or there might be some long error/stacktrace let me know please @JonnyTech

Well, this is embarassing, because now it works. Both of my phones had the problem last night and this morning. Thanks for your feedback. If it happens again and I am near a computer then I shall take a logcat and reopen this issue.
