Download of mp3 file failed

[georf]

I get an error while downloading a mp3 file. But I don't know why its failing. If I download this file directly, I can fetch it. Perhaps you can add a detailed error message in the log file or only in verbose mode or something like that?

The issue seems simple enough: the url in the feed is 'http://mp3-download.ard.de/radio/radiofeature/ard-radiofeature-pulverfass-baltikum.12844s.mp3 ' with a space at the end. I will have to test some more to figure out whether the problem is keeping the space or if something discards the space along the way.

As for more informative errors: It's a valid point and I could just pass on whatever error message is generated (in this case it would be "No connection adapters were found for 'http://mp3-download.ard.de/radio/radiofeature/ard-radiofeature-pulverfass-baltikum.12844s.mp3'") Just because I don't know what connection adapters are doesn't mean it might not make sense to somebody else :)

Mostly though I doubt it would be useful. I recently caught an error in BBC's Newhour feed where a single file in the middle of the feed was marked '403 UK only'. Like why? Usually it will just be human errors and there's little anyone can do about it except as you did, download it yourself if allowed.

requests processes the url so that it becomes: http://mp3-download.ard.de/radio/radiofeature/ard-radiofeature-pulverfass-baltikum.12844s.mp3%20 I would awfully like to clean that up but there's a lot of ways for people to write urls wrong and no way to guard against them all. Some kind of general url sanitizing would require 3rd party libs and I think four is too many already.

I'll have a look at the output and see if there's a good way to add more informative errors somewhere.
