(In reply to Jasem Mutlaq from comment #1) > Can you reach this page? https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb_query.cgi It seems to be my fault. I use a proxy server, my browser can reach that page, but other programs seems not worked. I will check my configuration later. But I still think socket operation time out cause program crash is not friendly to user, maybe more robust is better? Best regards.
