Unknown IO error on version 6.9.2-5

[yakobom]

Hi,
I am using the 6.9.2-5 version on Ubuntu 14.04.
I am getting an error when trying to use Identify on some images. For example:

Code: Select all

identify -format %n http://metrouk2.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/ad_149653507-e1414069912787.jpg

The result is more than 200 (that's right) lines saying:

Code: Select all

error : Unknown IO error

Note: I get the same errors when trying 'convert' as well.

Any idea what can the problem be?

Thanks,
yakobom

It works fine for me, v6.9.2-5 in Windows 8.1.

Can you successfully "wget" the file?

[yakobom]

Yes I can, and it works on other images, so it's not a network problem.
Could it be some missing delegate, and the weird error is some kind of a bug? Since there is no official ubuntu install, I have downloaded the official release code and built it myself...

[snibgo]

I don't know. Do you have problems with other files at the same site? Perhaps the server has some kind of block, against robots.

[yakobom]

If that was the case, it wouldn't have worked for you on Windows... Any other thoughts?

I've just tried my DIY-compiled (with Cygwin) version: it gives "error : Unknown IO error".

Comms are mystery to me. I just use wget, and do processing locally. I don't know how IM gets stuff from the net, or what can go wrong. Perhaps other people can try this, and suggest solutions. Maybe IM uses a library.

We can reproduce the problem you posted and have a patch in ImageMagick 6.9.2-6 Beta within a few days. Thanks.

Great! Thank you.
