I'm trying to repair the recipe for the Vancouver Sun. The pre-existing recipe references the pages that contain the article links with 'index.html'. For example, (u'National',u'/news/national/index.html').

However, the site has changed, and the pages are now in the format of (for example): '/category/news/national' - there is no longer an index.html (or an index.htm, or a default.html, or default.htm - I've tried them all in a browser), so the recipe breaks.

I've tried changing the recipe so that the page is referenced as (u'National',u'/news/national') but it does not work.

Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing it?
