Hello there.

I'm currently experiencing some problems with how SABNZBd is URL encoding the download links from NZBClub's RSS feeds...

For the sake of demonstrating, I am going to use this example:

RSS Feed URL: XXX
In case the link doesn't work... the RSS looks like this...

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rss xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" version="2.0">

I can manually download the NZB from my browser, but SAB fails with this message:

Code: Select all

2014-07-09 22:21:43,825	WARNING:	Empty NZB file scnzb%2520efnet%2520520624%2520How%2520the%2520Universe%2520Work [http://www.nzbclub.com/nzb_get/37773947/scnzb%2520efnet%2520520624%2520How%2520the%2520Universe%2520Works%2520S03E01%2520Sun%2520720p%2520HDTV%2520x264%2520DHD%2520how%2520the%2520universe%2520works%2520s03e01%2520720p%2520dhd.nzb]

The real URL should be:

Code: Select all

http://www.nzbclub.com/nzb_get/37773947/scnzb%20efnet%20520624%20How%20the%20Universe%20Works%20S03E01%20Sun%20720p%20HDTV%20x264%20DHD%20how%20the%20universe%20works%20s03e01%20720p%20dhd.nzb

The difference is the %20 URL encoding for spaces is being changed to %2520 in SAB before trying to download...
So, basically it looks like SABnzbd is trying to double-encode the URL... Any thoughts on how this could be fixed?

I have removed the RSS URL, because I think it contains personal info.
I'll have a look at this.

Thanks. No personal info in that original link though, as far as I know, just some extra search preferences.

Found this section of code though in rss.py that looks suspicious and probably responsible:

Code: Select all

      if link:
                # Make sure spaces are quoted in the URL
                if 'nzbclub.com' in link:
                    link, path = os.path.split(link.strip())
                    link = '%s/%s' % (link, urllib.quote(path))
                else:
                    link = link.strip().replace(' ','%20')

                newlinks.append(link)

Thoughts?

Interesting, I forgot about this piece of code.
It looks like at some time nzbclub needed some special treatment.
I'll look into it, but it may take some time.

Sorry for the late reply.
For me it works fine with and without the extra code, weird.

Even so, the extra code doesn't seem to be necessary any longer and maybe harmful in some situations.
I'll remove it in the next release.
