I noticed that on a computer that had the latest version of power BI installed, the link http://www.imdb.com/chart/top would not open.
I receive an error that states :
We have encountered an error while trying to connect.
Details: The supplied URL must be a valid "http" or "https" URL
The funn thing is that all other websites work. (I tried a few random ones). The issue is only with IMDB. I restarted my system, opened a new power BI project, but it still doesn't work.
When I opened the same link on another system that had the older version, it worked just fine.
Any Ideas as to what is going on??
Another user also faced a similar issue : http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Web-Data-Sources-connection-problem/m-p/160466#M69750
PS: I am new to power BI, so would really appreciate the help
Version: 2.56.5023.1021 64-bit (March 2018) - March 19, 2018 - seems to have fixed this! :smileyhappy:
Thank You! :smileyhappy:

Hi Reubenjac,
As I said in my version (latest one is working) I already had also some issues that in my computer was not working but in other computer everything was ok.
Post this on the Issues forum you will get a contact from the developers to help you better.
Also post the link to this post in order for the developers check that other are not facing the same issue.
Regards,
MFelix
I am encountering the same issue as described above with Reubenjac's IMDB link
My actual issue is with a different https: url
My file updates every monday - last monday the 5th (before the update) all was fine :smileyhappy:
but now 12th (after update) I just got this message - the url must be valid etc.... :smileysad:
Well the url is working - opens fine in any browser! (Firefox, Edge, Chrome)
Regretfully I just cleaned my Downloads folder and can't revert to any previous PBI versions to test in those
After last month's "&" ordeal I still deleted all older versions - should have kept at least 1 backup working PBI version
MarcelBeugImkeFany ideas/suggestions as always will be greatly appreciated :smileyhappy:
In PBI this is what happens with Reubenjac's link http://www.imdb.com/chart/top
In Excel Power Query on the other hand all seems fine... with both my link and the IMDB link...
Thanks! :smileyhappy:
