Kovid, do no integrate this. It uses older version of ft recipe as a base. I will provide updated version in the tracker.

Too late, but I'll update it again when you post your version

[kiklop74]

The only real changes here where these:

try:
urlverified = self.browser.open_novisit(url).geturl() # resolve redirect.
except:
continue

And here

def cleanup(self):
self.browser.open('https://registration.ft.com/registration/login/logout?location=')

So in future please contact me so that we can avoid these conflicts.

[kovidgoyal]

Do you really want to be contacted every time someone makes an update to one of your recipes? That tends to happen rather a lot. I usually review the changes and if they look ok I merge them.

[kiklop74]

There is no firm law or anything for this. I guess we can leave that to the personal judgement of the users doing the improvements. I don't have a problem with the actual update, the problem is when supposedly "new" code reintroduces old bugs.

[kovidgoyal]

That can happen once in a while, but I think that it is worth it, the alternative would mean a lot of work for both of us and much slower recipe updates.
