 ofdb.py sometimes will not return a movie id although the website is
 clearly returning search hits. It seems that for some search terms, the
 web site containing the search results uses a different path to point to
 the detail page for that movie. It's easy to work around that because
 ofdb.de just uses HTTP 301 redirects to point to the correct address.

 Here's an example with the new URL format:

 {{{./ofdb.py -r -M 'wutprobe' | grep 'Wutprobe'

 <b>Deutscher Titel:</b><br><br>1. <a href="view.php?page=film&fid=33867"
 onmouseover="Tip('<img src=&quot;images/film/33/33867.jpg&quot;
 width=&quot;120&quot; height=&quot;180&quot;>',SHADOW,true)">Wutprobe,
 Die<font size="1"> / Anger Management</font>
 (2003)</a><br><br><br></font></p><br>
 }}}

 Here's the old format:

 {{{
 ./ofdb.py -r -M 'die wutprobe' | grep 'Wutprobe'

 <b>Deutscher Titel:</b><br><br>1. <a href="film/33867,Die-Wutprobe"
 onmouseover="Tip('<img src=&quot;images/film/33/33867.jpg&quot;
 width=&quot;120&quot; height=&quot;180&quot;>',SHADOW,true)">Wutprobe,
 Die<font size="1"> / Anger Management</font>
 (2003)</a><br><br><br></font></p><br>
 }}}

 It's really odd because the search terms don't differ much and actually
 point to the same movies. Anyways, the attached patch fixes this.
