SSL errors on Flickr import

Did you try with the trunk version, or just the latest full release?

Yes. I downloaded directly from links you gave me last time. That’s a completely fresh install.

For added information, when I authenticate to flickr, I do see my Name and my icon show up (which did not happen in the previous version) but that error still occurs when I actually try to import.

I just figured out what it is… It’s kind of obvious too…

Flickr turned off non SSL requests to their API some time ago. The fix is pretty easy, just change the http urls in keyring-importer-flickr.php (line 111 and 186, I also changed the comment on 100, but that shouldn’t matter obviously) from https:// to https:// and it works fine.

I figured I might as well mention it here so you can update the source and for anyone else who runs into it.

Weird, the important part there is that you change the one that appears on line 100, which is changed in the trunk version of the plugin (https://plugins.svn.www.ads-software.com/keyring-social-importers/trunk/importers/keyring-importer-flickr.php, search for “https://api.flickr.com/services/”).

Using that in conjunction with the latest version of Keyring should mean that everything is happening via SSL.

Based on the line numbers that you mentioned, it sounds like maybe you have a different version of the plugin though, so I think maybe you have the previous version perhaps.

weird. I mean, I downloaded it fresh right before I tried that. *shrug* in any case, it works. I just wanted you to be aware of it.
