Package: urlwatch
Version: 1.11-1
Severity: normal
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
I use the attached hooks.py script to format all html data from the
watched URLs as text.
URLwatch is run as a cron job:
#Checks URLs for changes -- see ~/.urlwatch/urls.txt
5,55 * * * * [my username] urlwatch
When there are no changes to the watched URLs, I get an email with the
following error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/urlwatch", line 232, in <module>
data = job.retrieve(timestamp, filter, headers)
File "/usr/share/urlwatch/urlwatch/handler.py", line 111, in retrieve
content_unicode = content.decode(encoding, 'ignore')
LookupError: unknown encoding:
Thank you for your help.
