The supplied URL must be a valid 'http:' or 'https:' URL ???

[Sean]

I have a PBIX file that updates every Monday from a web page.

Last Monday March 5th (before the March 2018 Update) all was fine

Today Monday March 12th (after the March Update) I get this error

The supplied URL must be a valid 'http:' or 'https:' URL

Well the URL is working and it opens fine in any browser! (Firefox, Edge, Chrome)

Here's the error I see in the Query Editor

Oddly the URL still works in Power Query but not PBI

I've duplicated the issue with this different link http://www.imdb.com/chart/top

Here's result in PBI

And result with same URL in Excel

Thanks! 

Any ideas / suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

UPDATE: This happens with both March 2018 Versions I've tried so far

2.56.5023.861 - March 7 and

2.56.5023.942 - March 12

Both don't work and say URL is Invalid!

Also I was able to downgrade to Feb 2018 and I do NOT encounter this issue there!

 I experience the same thing on all my computers, with two other links. Please investigate and fix this issue.

This seems to be a problem with the Web.Page-function, as Lines.FromBinary(Web.Contents... works alright.

Hi Sean. This is indeed a bug. We're looking into it.

Version: 2.56.5023.1021 64-bit (March 19, 2018) seems to have fixed this!

Thank You!

For me it is fixed too, since version: 2.56.5023.1021. Thanks a lot!
