Description Mehmet Nur Olcay 2009-03-26 23:45:15 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.1)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.2 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux

tinyurl does not working with complex urls.

i.e working for http://google.com

but for http://www.google.com.tr/search?hl=tr&q=konversation+kde4&sourceid=navclient-ff&rlz=1B5GGGL_trTR310TR310&ie=UTF-8 

it returns with this error: 

[D-Bus] Error: Unable run tinyurl script, please make sure you have curl or wget installed

looks like has some problems with special characters, could not figure out which ones.

patch for tinyurl to use api

This patch makes the script use tinyurl's api instead of screenscraping saving them bandwidth and also fixing this bug since the bug was a result of screenscraping messing up.

SVN commit 949353 by hein:

Make the tinyurl script less insane by using their API
instead of doing screen scraping, also fixing problems
with non-ASCII characters in the process. Thanks to
Travis for the patch.
