WorldCat scraper broken

Issue #2952 new
Former user created an issue

WorldCat redesigned its pages (for the worse, if you ask me) and the BibSonomy Chrome extension cannot add the record to BibSonomy any more. Tried to import the record https://www.worldcat.org/title/751272248 with the result "Oopppps, something's gone wrong" at https://www.bibsonomy.org/BibtexHandler?requTask=upload&selection=&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.worldcat.org%2Ftitle%2F751272248&referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.worldcat.org%2Ftitle%2F751272248&description=M.%20Annei%20Lucani%20Cordubensis%20Pharsalia%20%7C%20WorldCat.org&abstractGrouping=public&autoLogin=true

Could not scrape the URL https://www.worldcat.org/title/751272248. Message was: java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 503 for URL: https://www.worldcat.org/title/751272248

The URL https://www.worldcat.org/title/751272248 is currently not supported by one of our scrapers.

A new scraper for WorldCat is needed, if it is at all possible to scrape it any more.
