Bug#857238: /usr/bin/leo: throws HTTP 404

[Roland Hieber]

Package: libwww-dict-leo-org-perl
Version: 1.45-1
Severity: grave
File: /usr/bin/leo
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable

(CC'ed the upstream maintainer because this is most probably an error in
the upstream part, and because the --help output says so :-))

Dear Maintainers,

I use /usr/bin/leo daily, but it stopped working today:

    $ leo -d test 
    %DEBUG: connecting to site:
    %DEBUG: GET /dictQuery/m-vocab/ende/de.html?deStem=standard&cmpType=relaxed&spellToler=standard&searchLoc=0&lp=ende&search=test HTTP/1.0
    %DEBUG: connection: done
    got HTTP error 404!
     at /usr/bin/leo line 248.

That URL does indeed throw a 404, even in the browser :-)

A quick look on the LEO homepage shows that both the desktop and the
mobile version request their results via XML [0].

Cheers,
