…I’m not the guy who originally wrote this article, but I’ll do what I can! ;-)

The complaint that the “request for <http://…valid url> failed” seems to indicate a url-resolution problem, but it’s hard to tell because the error message doesn’t specify the exact problem.

  • Are you sure that the uri is valid?
  • Can you ping it?
  • Are you sure that the HTML::WikiConverter plugin and dialect are installed?

…as the guy who had written it: The URI printed out by line 112 (Fetching/processing…) is the URI that actually will be fetched.

Some additional things that could go wrong:

  • The wiki is password protected. If so you might get around the issue by setting your URI to http://user:password@thesite.com
  • The server redirects your browser after accessing the URI. I don’t know if perl’s HTTP library handles that.
