If I cut the address which is shown in the pop-up web progress box and paste it into explorer - the link works fine.
For some reason, XMM appears to get "stuck" trying to access this web address and finally crashes.
Any ideas as the cause?
For completeness - the following is the full script (reduced down to skin-and-bones which reproduces the error):

well i tried to reply to your message a week ago but the site was bugged and wouldn't let me register... had to go through Alessio to get an account made.
ANYWAYS... the reason your query isn't working and is getting "stuck" as you describe it is due to a lack of cookie support in XMM.
when you go to http://www.adultdvdtalk.com/ it has an "agreement" question which comes up. when you agree it sets a cookie so you can browse the rest of the site. the problem is XMM doesn't send this cookie so when it runs your search it gets redirected back to the "agreement" page. you can verify this in your browser by deleting all "http://www.adultdvdtalk.com/" cookies and then trying your search results URL... it won't work and you get redirected.
the reason for the "crash" you're seeing in XMM is actually due to an infinite redirect loop bug within XMM. when XMM is running your search and gets redirected it goes into a massive loop of HTTP requests and finally gives up after trying about 50 connections... this is not a good thing to do against their servers so you should really give up on getting this working cause i see no way to do it. and each time you try it its slamming their server with a huge number of bugged connections!
Thanks for the response. The natural followup is: are there plans on adding cookie support to XMM? I thought it was based off of IE so that (cookies) would be part of what you "get for free" by doing calls to IE.
I am the developer for Adult DVD Talk. If you want an interface for XMM please write to me. I can create something for you that bypasses our cookie requirement, doesn't waste a ton of our bandwidth and still provides the info you need. drew@adultdvdtalk.com
