Does not work on ST3 with Linux (Fedora 20 here)

[asfaltboy]

Seems the extension is attempting an HTTP request using a https url, which requires Python built with SSL support. Unfortunately, the interpreter embedded in ST3 does not seem to support SSL.

Is it possible to use Google Spell Check using http requests (without SSL) ?

here is the relevant traceback from st3 console:

Similar issue using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Using Sublime Text 2 with Python 2.7.6 vanilla install and Google Spell Checker v2014.04.10.07.43.27.

Sublime Text 2 console output below:

Update: I've fixed the issue by altering line 22 in my "sublime-text-2/Packages/Google Spell Check/google-spell-check.py" file (this directory may be different on your file-system) to include a "gws_rd" (google web service_redirect) variable with the value "ssl" in the parameter passed to the "get_page" function (this variable is the web address used by the package to query Google). The relevant line now reads:

html = self.get_page('http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=' + urllib2.quote(text) + "&meta=&gws_rd=ssl")

It appears as though Google implicitly redirects your query to HTTP+SSL protocol even though the original query submitted stipulates the standard HTTP protocol. Whether this is standard Google server behaviour or something caused by my system environment is still a mystery but the fix works either way! Note that I've included a "hl" variable here with the value "en": this specifies the "interface" language or the language used to evaluate the query submitted to give context to Google's servers. If you're looking to spell-check using a language other than English, change this variable accordingly.

I've since created a pull request to the master branch of this package and hopefully the changes will be included soon but if you can't wait then its a pretty simple fix.

Hi everyone, same here. Ubuntu-Gnome 14.04.2. It doesn't work. @mlk5060 I modified the line 22 without success... nothing changes. :(

I've noticed that its stopped working for me lately. Have given up using it.
