SDSS incorrect server link

[balashev]

Hello,

I encountered errors when trying to download quasar spectra using astroquery.sdss

It seems that broken links are generated when astroquery tries to download from sdss database, and "urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found" is generated.

For example, asking for (J130709.97+302818.71)

astroquery generates:
https://data.sdss.org/sas/dr14/boss/spectro/redux/v5_10_0/spectra/8276/spec-8276-57067-0092.fits,

while it should be
https://data.sdss.org/sas/dr14/eboss/spectro/redux/v5_10_0/spectra/8276/spec-8276-57067-0092.fits

where BOSS --> EBOSS.

The similar things are also happen for asking dr16 objects, either by coordinates or by plate-mjd-fiberID. For example, asking for SDSS.get_spectra(plate=9403,mjd=58018,fiberID=485) return None

Can anyone update the generation of the links in astroquery.SDSS to include the latest EBOSS releases?

this is solved by #2214 and is a duplicate of #1731.

There is still a problem to load spectra from DR16 data release since it needs to add '/lite' of '/full' in the link address which is not supported by previous data releases.

[keflavich]

OK that sounds like potentially a new issue. I see in #2214 that /full is added, but /lite is not. @weaverba137 can you comment?

[keflavich]

Right, you've already commented on #2214 - let's keep discussion centralized there. I'm closing this again in favor of #2214 - we should handle both issues in one place.
