Shortened links doesn't work anymore

[nagisa]

I remember you could put a shortened link to a video (t.co for example) and youtube-dl would follow it without any complaints. Now it doesn't work anymore. streamvid is a wrapper which runs youtube-dl --get-url

$ streamvid 'http://t.co/SOMEGARBAGE'

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/youtube-dl", line 6, in <module>
    youtube_dl.main()

youtube-dl --version

Can you post an actual invocation of youtube-dl, if possible with the option -v? Obviously, http://t.co/SOMEGARBAGE just returns a 404, and that works fine on my machine.

All following commands

youtube-dl --get-url 'http://t.co/GALm6cCVQL' --verbose
youtube-dl --get-url 'http://t.co/GALm6cCVQL' -v
youtube-dl -v --get-url 'http://t.co/GALm6cCVQL'
youtube-dl -v --get-url http://t.co/GALm6cCVQL

output following content byte-to-byte (that is no debugging output)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/youtube-dl", line 6, in <module>
    youtube_dl.main()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages/youtube_dl/__init__.py", line 515, in main
    _real_main()

    retcode = fd.download(all_urls)

    compat_urllib_error.HTTPErrorProcessor, compat_urllib_request.HTTPSHandler]:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'HTTPErrorProcessor'

If I run

youtube-dl -v http://t.co/GALm6cCVQL

youtube-dl outputs following text

[debug] youtube-dl version 2013.02.19
[debug] Python version 3.3.0 - Linux-3.7.9-1-ARCH-x86_64-with-arch
[debug] Proxy map: {}

and then the same traceback as posted above.

Source for streamvid as seen in the first post is available here.

Thanks, that's 3.3-specific. I'll have a look at it.

Again, thanks for reporting. This has been fixed in tree and will be in the next release.
