WSJ from Todays Paper (not RSS feeds)

Well I finally downloaded and tried Calibre today. Very nice, and very impressive. (I was hooked by the interesting comment by kovidgoyal in the thread about Sony Daily Reader support for the WSJ, and how you can already do that with Calibre.)

So my primary goal was to create a custom feed that will create an ebook file with the content from the "Today's Paper - US" web page for online subscribers, and it's not working for me yet.

Has anyone successfully done this?

I'm basing my attempt on this recipe. I get an error with the DefaultProfile import. (import... from calibre.ebooks.lrf.web.profiles import DefaultProfile) If I comment it out, then later in the recipe it complains that it doesn't have that DefaultProfile. Sorry, shut down the PC I used for that. Can re-run it again if the specific error is needed. But my guess is that the program has been updated (probably so it can use the .recipe files, which seems to be a recent development) and the DefaultProfile has been replaced.

Also, even worse, when I add this custom recipe, it doesn't show the login user/passwd options. (Do I have to hard code them as literals?)

Anyway, if someone can help out this novice, I'd sure appreciate it!
