Audioscrobbler stops working after a while

[Fernando Irías Escher]

When I start Exaile, it is scrobbling everything fine, but after a while, it seems that it cannot open the post url. Some terminal details here:

I changed the <my username>, <some hash> and <some number> values for security. Hope this get solved soon.

Thanks!

Hmm, missing http:// ?

I get an identical error after exaile had been running for a while scrobbling OK but then paused for an extended period (overnight, for example). Once it starts erroring like this, it doesn't recover on its own but if I restart it, it works OK.

However, I think it may be related to my comment in this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/exaile/+bug/518939 in that if I don't catch it and restart shortly after the problem occurs, a long queue of scrobbles forms and then causes other errors related to *that*.
