Trying the above URL

http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?sort=interestingness-desc&extras=original_format&tag_mode=all&tags=autumn&per_page=20&api_key=045379bc5368502f749af23d95a17c83&method=flickr.photos.search

in a web browser results in 

<rsp stat="fail"><err code="95" msg="SSL is required"/></rsp>

webilder no longer downloads from flickr and it appears that it needs to be changed to use https (ssl)

Of course the webshots downloading has been broken for years but now that webshots is under new management and offers a free daily photograph in JPG format, surely that could be easily fixed.

The Flickr API has been fixed in 0.7.3 (released last week).

Happy to take PR that fix Webshots support.

OOPS - Sorry, I failed to notice the brand new version 0.7.3 just released on 2014-07-14.

I have just installed it and very happy to report that downloading is working just fine with the new https URLS
