[Imdbpy-help] intermittent Error 405

[Ben Co]

Hello,

Since yesterday, I'm facing an intermittent 405 error when wearching for movies with search_movie  method.

This doesn't happen all the time, and with several IP addresses.

Here is the whole exception stack:

Hi Ben,

There's an issue for this: https://github.com/cinemagoer/cinemagoer/issues/415

A possible fix was already committed, we will see if it's enough.

Hope this helps,

Thanks! So far it's working. Let's hope it's only due to a change in IMDB web server configuration, and not some will to fight web crawling.

Greetings
