Story's URL: The URL is not functioning! for specific URLs

I also had this problem with the following url:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/02/world/asia/02strategy.html

Not sure what it's checking when it does a URL check, but this one works in a browser for sure. Other NYtimes submissions seem to work fine also.

I can second #1 that link doesn't work (it triggers the not functioning error). What can be the cause?!

In drigg.module the error message code is found here:

      if (variable_get('drigg_url_validate', TRUE) && !drigg_url_http_ok($url, 'HEAD', FALSE)) {
        $error = t('The URL is not functioning!');
      }

Hi,

The error comes when URLs don't function as anonymous users.
This is what happens when I try to make the request manually:

Basically, you need to subscribe to NYTimes in order to see the page. This will cause your users a lot of frustration.

There is now a switch in Drigg that disable the URL checking. If you are bugged by this behaviour, you'll need to switch the whole validation off - sorry!
