/update_tables.py[58137] error fetching alias url https://bla.bla.com/support.tx

Hi,

We use a URL table alias that refreshes every day to centrally manage a list of IP's that are used in firewall rules.
This worked great untill now.

I keep getting this error:
2021-10-17T18:50:01   /update_tables.py[58137]   error fetching alias url https://bla.bla.com/support.txt   
2021-10-17T18:50:01   /update_tables.py[58137]   fetch alias url https://bla.bla.com/support.txt (lines: 8)

So it downloads the file as it knows it's 8 lines, but then throws an error. I can't seem to find why, is there any other log I can view to figure out why it throws an error?

[Fright]

hi
you can try to
curl https://bla.bla.com/support.txt
via console
there may be some error. e.g. certificate error

The curl command went fine, no problems...

Figured it out though, it was a special char in the file, to bad OPNsense can't handle this or throws a usable error.
But the alias and the firewall rules It's used in is working fine again.

may be some exception on address parsing.
but it's hard to say without an example
