    Using 0.8.5.12 in debian the import from epicurious.com fails. Import of foodnetwork pages, others is OK.  Iseem to have problem only with epicurious.com pages.

    dialog box show:

    Gourmet does not know how to import site http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe_views/views/102709
    Are you sure http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe_views/views/102709 points to a page with a recipe on it?

    and console shows:

    oels@debian2:~$ gourmet

      def load_lprprint ():

      Got it!
      The problem was the way Gourmet detects headers of HTML pages. I'll plan to release the fix shortly. If you'd like to import epicurious pages in the mean time, it's a simple enough fix (1 line) to do yourself:

      Goto src/lib/importers/html_importer.py in the source.
      Goto line 297
      Change the line:
      if header == 'text/html':
      to
      if header.find('html') >= 0:

      (keep the indentation as is in the file).

      Hopefully this will cause Gourmet not only to recognize pages like Epicurious, which declared their encoding -- text/html;blahblahblah -- but also to recognize xhtml, etc. as html.

      Oh -- one more error I found once this was working...

      in src/lib/importers/html_plugins/html_helpers.py
      @line 35
      underneath "def remove_comments...."
      add
      if not text: return text

      This prevents another error.

      That biscotti looks good. There's one funny-bit in the import (a <p> tag shows up in the ingredients), but it's functional. Fixing that last bit just means tweaking the ruleset for epicurious, so I'll go ahead and close this bug (a major one), understanding that there are still (and probably always will be) many more minor bugs to fix when it comes to tweaking the webpage scrapers!

      Sorry, but it didn't work for me unless I pasted the fix wrong. 
      Also, should I be trying from the regular epicurios page or their "print recipe"=printer friendly page?  I've just tried both and neither worked for me.

      Assuming eventually that this gets working, and I have confidence it will, my next project would be to get my current Koch-suite/Postgresql recipe database imported, since gourmet has a few nicer features now, particualrly ability to add images.
      anyhow,  here's my console output now:
