I had this same error, Will need to look into it. Thanks for reporting. Let's mark this a low priority bug for now.

Could not find what caused it and also tried to recreate it but didn't come up :confused:

We need to handle it in the code then. And make sure the code does not break when this exception is raised! :)

@neo1691 PR #54 addresses this issue if the code is not able to reach or resolve the given URL. I believe this code has already been merged into the master. @neo1691 if #54 addressed this issue, you can close it.
