 I have been having issues with downloading posters from mythtv svn head
 for quite some time. just finally started digging into it to find out what
 is going wrong.

 but what I have found is that it doesnt matter if it is a new movie or an
 old movie, mythvideo always tries downloading the posters with an odd
 formatted GET .. not even sure this was valid?

 in the http request it is sending the following

 GET http://images.themoviedb.org/posters/28334/Rosemarys-Baby_poster.jpg
 HTTP/1.1
 Connection: Keep-Alive
 Host: images.themoviedb.org

 HTTP/1.0 200 Ok
 Content-type: text/html
 Pragma: no cache
 Content-length: 136
 Connection: close

 <html>
 <head>
   <title></title>
 </head>
 <body bgcolor=\"ffffff\">
   <h2><h2>
   <p>
   This URLs or Page has been blocked.
 </body>
 </html>

 of course if you massage the get to only include the file portion of the
 URI then it all works great.

 not sure what library is actually taking care of the http connection.
