Barron's Not Fetching News

[jmp7]

I know my username/password are correct, as the WSJ login works (same account). Wondering what causes this failure.

It indicates the server is not responding to the login request with valid JSON, if you PM me your username password I can take a look

[kovidgoyal]

Thanks, I took a look. The site has been completely redesigned, including a whole new javascript login framework and no RSS feeds. I have re-written the recipe to use the new "Barrons Magazine" section to get a list of articles and removed the login part from it, since getting the login to work is too much effort at least for me. But the articles seem to be available without needing to login, so...

Thank you, works perfectly.
