Draft: SIMBAD request failure
This is just a small mod proposal:
At the time of plate solving, if we use a star name such as TYC 4386-530-1
, the requests to the 3 servers (Simbad, Vizier and CDS) is OK.
If we use a star name such as BD+29 2767
, only Vizier and CDS return the right answer. Simbad shows... nothing.
This behaviour is confirmed by using the Search function which is more verbose.
The Simbad server doesn't like "+" sign in the URL...
The proposed solution is to explicitly turn the "+" sign into its hex equivalent.
Then the Simbad answer becomes good.****
And to be consistent, this mod for the "+" sign is also applied the de 2 other servers.
And to be much more consistent, it's also applied to the "-" sign to the 3 servers.
