Possibly (but this is just guessing) the site refuses any User-Agent header that's different than those of known browsers. Thanks for your replies. I am encoding the url correctly alright. The user-agent header could explain it except then SAB wouldn't get the file through it's own GUI. Anyway I do...

For a browser test to be valid: first make sure you're not logged in to the web site in any tab. Make sure you're actually logged out. OK, I understand that but that doesn't explain why when I add the URL manually through SAB's web interface the HTTPS url gets retrieved. Posting the same URL via th...

Yeah, I should have said this indexer site does support HTTPS though - if I add the URL via SAB's own interface (webGUI) the file gets added correctly. Pasting the HTTPS URL into my browser will also download the file correctly.

If I post a URL to SAB like below it will work fine and grab the URL: http://www.myusenetsite.com/getnzb/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.nzb&i=1111&r=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx However, if I post this (exactly the same except in HTTPS) I get this error in SAB ( DEBUG::[urlgrabber:351]...

Strange -- this is what the SabNZBd log shows after I pass it the URL:

2013-02-17 10:23:54,822::DEBUG::[urlgrabber:351] No response from indexer, retry after 60 sec

If I pass the same URL into a browser (any browser) it gets the nzb fine - any suggestions?

SABnzbd generates it own self-signed certificate. Real ones cost money. Firefox allows you to store an exception for a self-signed certificate permanently. Less versatile ones like Chrome, IE and Safari insist on pestering you about it. I mean the remote URL, not the Sab URL. The indexing site is g...

Also, I think the URL site I am using is using a self signed certificate, maybe Sab cannot verify it. Is there any switch I can use to ignore unknown SSL certificates?

Actually, just checked and python-openssl is already installed!?

If you installed it DIY, then you need to install PyOpenSSL.

Yes, its an embedded device running on a satellite receiver - I guess I will need OpenSSL so, thank.

Could anyone suggest why I can't add HTTPS URLs in Sab? If I use the GUI and add URL https://...... the addition fails (even though the site is there running under HTTPS). However, if I drop the "s" and just plan http://..... then the URL gets fetched and added correctly. The same problem ...

Hello, I am having a little bit of difficulty adding an NZB to Sab from an external source that has "&apikey=xxxxx" in its URL. I have written an app to login to NzbMatrix and get specified NZB URLs. I am then trying to post that into Sab e.g http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/api?mode=addu...

Can I get a version with HTTPS anywhere? I don't see it on your site.

No it doesn't. Not the latest one I downloaded anyway. A packet sniffer clearly shows everything being sent in cleartext. I can see my username and API key cleary in a sniff log.

Does anyone know if the communication between Episode Butler and NZBMatrix is encrypted? There is no "Use SSL" tick on the tab, but are all API connections ecnrypted by default?

Can't say I like the idea of sending the API Key, username and search term in cleartext....
