Subject: Better reporting in case of download error
Hi, in case, when you want for some reason download info from inexistent imdb id, for example: http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0168854/ now I all get is "[CRITICAL] Cannot retrieve url [http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0168854]" - which is not true, because it can retrieve url, but on that url is no movie. Problem is, sometimes happen, when you are retrieveing a lot of inexistent imdbids imdb.com will block your IP address (you receive back 403 http statusc code - forbidden). When your IP address is blocked, you will still get same message " "[CRITICAL] Cannot retrieve url [http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0168854]" It should be good to have different reporting for that, because now, you can not say, if you get that CRITICAL error if imdb doesnt exists or ip is blocked. Thanks.
