Just a few hours ago, it was downloading fine. But now, when I try to download a story from Stars, it asks for my login twice and then gives me an error

Example:

Bad
Unknown
Unknown
Failed to Login for URL: (http://starslibrary.net/viewstory.php?sid=11975) with username: (kyla713)

Is this on the downloaders end, or Stars?

It looks like starslibrary.net now requires https (for login at least).

I've posted a test version of the plugin here:
http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3084025#post3084025

Test version of web service here:
https://2-25-7-dot-fanficfare.appspot.com/

Test version of CLI for pip install: You'll have to get it from the
testpypi repository. This works for me on Debian:

> pip install --extra-index-url https://testpypi.python.org/pypi --upgrade FanFicFare

Change in this version:

2018-05-24
- https for starslibrarynet, abstract protocol a bit for eFiction Base.

2018-05-14
- Fixes for adapter_lightnovelgatecom, thanks rikkitp!

2018-05-06
- Fix date for adapter_gluttonyfictioncom
- Remove defunct sites thealphagate.com and harrypotterfanfiction.com
- Adding website_encodings:ignore feature for adapter_wwwnovelallcom.
- Fixes for adapter_wwwnovelallcom, thanks rikkitp!

2018-05-03
- Change adapter_whoficcom to https.
- Add rating and sitetags to adapter_webnovelcom.

2018-05-02
- Fix some metadata collection in adapter_webnovelcom. (#299)
- adapter_webnovelcom - use_pagecache - mostly for debugging.

2018-04-29
- base_xenforoforum_adapter: exclude threadmarks URL as chapter URL.

Thank you so much, worked for me just now! It just struck me as odd earlier, since for as long as I've been using the fanficfare plugin for calibre, stars (and previously twcs/thewriterscoffeeshop) has always required a login, but has never failed to log in when I've input my username and password. And I had just downloaded something with the plugin early this morning, and it worked fine, and then it would log in to Stars when requested. Thanks again!
