Failed to Fetch Login Page 16.04.3

Asked by Blake Smith

I have FetchYahoo installed from the default repository, copied the example config file to my home folder, and edited it to my yahoo mail account.

When I run FetchYahoo with the following command: fetchyahoo --configfile=/home/blake/.fetchyahoorc

I get the following output before it quits.

Kind of at a loss for what to do with this, but any help would be appreciated.

Is the site up? Have you clicked the link to see if it works?

Do you use a proxy for Web access?

So I had not clicked on the link, but having just now rerun the command, when I click on the link it does work in so much as it takes me to the yahoo user sign in and has my account prefilled.
Also I do not use a proxy, and I've tried this from multiple internet connections ranging from personal home internet to enterprise isp level connections.

Can you help with this problem?
