Unknown IO error on version 6.9.2-5

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?

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...

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.

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.
