Associated Press recipe is broken

[NSILMike]

For several days now, it downloads links to articles (but not the articles...)
Thanks.

Bump.
I would appreciate it if someone could fix this recipe!

I updated the Associated Press recipe with what Kovid supplied and it worked this morning.
This afternoon, when running the recipe, I get the following error from Calibre:
Using custom recipe

then from the afs-prod.appspot.com address I get:

Anyone know what these error logs mean?

That's an error on the AP server, hopefully they will fix it soon enough.
