URL Fetching failed; Unusable NZB file for Bin-Req.net

Post by jp10558 »

I'm getting these with SickBeard and 0.5.3RC1 but if I copy the URL it lists in my history to Opera (my browser) it will download the file just fine and if I save the file into the NZB watch directory, SAB grabs it fine and starts downloading... Any ideas?

Does bin-req.net require a username and password?
If so, it won't work with SABnzbd.
What does such a URL look like?

Well, it was a new option in SickBeard I guess. When I paste in the URL into Opera, it downloads without asking for any password...
http://www.Bin-Req.net/download.php?nzbid=27738
is an example URL.

Opera will download it because you are already logged in.
SABnzbd needs to send login data along with the request.
Maybe you can use a similar trick as for nzbs.org and use the right RSS URL,
so that it will include login credentials in the download links.
See http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/nzb-sources Footnote 3.

But I'm not logged in to Bin-Req... you can log in, but I explicitly tested logged out in Opera (well, I actually have never logged in that I know of) but when I go to a standard page in Opera, it says (login) up in the right hand corner. I click on a random listed NZB, click through to download it, and I'm never asked to log in... and it starts to download - in Opera...

When I enter the URL you specified into SABnzbd's URL box, it just works.
It also works when I use the API.
http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/api?mode= ... apikey=XXX

I think the problem is in SickBeard.
