Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

When I attempt to download the audio content at "http://www.cbc.ca/radio/popup/audio/listen.html?autoPlay=true&clipIds=&mediaIds=2687122049&contentarea=radio&subsection1=radio1&subsection2=currentaffairs&subsection3=the_current&contenttype=audio&title=2016/04/19/1.3542277-the-current-for-april-19-2016&contentid=1.3542277", I receive the error shown in the log above. I found other CBC issues in earlier bug reports, but none of them looked to be the same as the error I'm seeing here.

The URL works in my browser, which is Pale Moon version 26.2.2. I have looked at the page source code and can't find any other media-containing URL on which to attempt a download. The video player that shows up in the page does not load in a separate frame, so as far as I can tell the page source I looked at is the only source available.

The source of the URL above is the "Listen to Full Episode" link from the following URL:
http://www.cbc.ca/radio/thecurrent/the-current-for-april-20-2016-1.3544290

Thanks!

You have to either put the URL into quotes or manually escape all the special shell characters. Read FAQ entry for details.
