Error: "You need to enter a valid address"

[dnngll]

Hello,

I am trying to monitor a website for used cars. All search parameters are included in the URL. The URL works in the "Content source", but I get an error pressing "OK".

The URL is https://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/search.html?dam=0&isSearchRequest=true&ms=25200;;29&sfmr=false&vc=Car , and I attached some screenhots.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks!

Please press SHIFT+OK in that case. The reason is that the checks for a valid address are simplified to save time. This fails rarely. The new version will have a hint to tell you:

Hello, I have a dozen URLs that trigger this popup every check. They all work, so I don't know what fails.
One example: https://www.modernhealthcare.com

BTW: You can also disable this check globally in the settings if it annoys you. However, if the check fails at tat point, it is likely that you are checking the wrong content later. So, please verify you are doing the right thing (i.e. look up the content downloaded in the items info dialog).
The reason it fails there is usually:

• For https, the certificate chain is broken
• Using http instead of https in the address (or vice versa)
• Verifying certificates is disabled and the host disallows that (bot protection)
• the server is misconfigured which is sadly way more often the case than you think o)

You can try to use the cURL settings for checking (menu "Tools" - "Configuration" - "Connectivity" - click on "cURL default").
