Harper's Magazine (print edition) not working

[mkgtu]

Unable to download Harper's Magazine articles from the print edition.

I know that when I recently tried to open the website and sign in I got the message that they had a "new and improved" sign in. (or words to that effect) So my old password didn't work, I signed in with email user name, was sent an email and had to choose a new password.

Neither my old nor my new login work in calibre.

most likely the login code has changed and the recipe will need to be adapted. Unfortunately I ma too busy at th emoment to look at this.

As of the latest calibre 6.21, the Harper's "articles from print edition" now works again, and with no longer any need to enter login credentials.

Thanks to whoever fixed it.

But I note that the other "Harper's Magazine" recipe (which never required a login, and which might be called a "web" edition which included things like the Weekly Review and other items not behind a paywall, STILL DOES NOT WORK. The recipe runs and downloads just the Table of Contents - but no actual contents.
