iview DL fails, auth error?

[Caiatris]

From grabber.py, attempting to download any video from ABC iView results in an error like:

Choose> 1
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/user/dev/webdl/grabber.py", line 62, in <module>
    main()
  File "/home/user/dev/webdl/grabber.py", line 55, in main
    if not n.download():
  File "/home/user/dev/webdl/iview.py", line 60, in download
    token, token_hostname= self.get_auth_details()
  File "/home/user/dev/webdl/iview.py", line 44, in get_auth_details
    token = auth_doc.xpath("//auth:tokenhd/text()", namespaces=NS)[0]

  File "src/lxml/etree.pyx", line 1870, in lxml.etree._ElementTree._assertHasRoot
AssertionError: ElementTree not initialized, missing root

This was working 2 days ago.

I noticed this too, the issue seems to be that the auth URL is now 404:

$ curl -s https://api.iview.abc.net.au/auth | jq
{
  "status": "error",
  "code": 404,
  "message": "The requested resource could not be found"
}

$ wget https://api.iview.abc.net.au/auth

I was about to dive into this. Nice timing!

Thanks for the quick fix!

I wasn’t certain if I was supposed to open an Issue for this, but it worked out nicely.
