MD5 strings time out and fail to detect and or decode

[digitaloffensive]

Starting recently md5 strings seem to time out trying to use the third party service. No notice if the service is down or if something has changed. I tried installing the newest version of decodify and same issues.

File "./dcode", line 295, in decode
MD5(string, base)
File "./dcode", line 167, in MD5
string = urlopen(url).read()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib.py", line 87, in urlopen
return opener.open(url)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib.py", line 213, in open
return getattr(self, name)(url)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib.py", line 350, in open_http
h.endheaders(data)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 1038, in endheaders
self._send_output(message_body)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 882, in _send_output
self.send(msg)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 844, in send
self.connect()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 821, in connect
self.timeout, self.source_address)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/socket.py", line 575, in create_connection
raise err
IOError: [Errno socket error] [Errno 110] Connection timed out

I was able to fix it by updating the following code with a https vs original http:

Original
def MD5(string, base):
url = "http://www.nitrxgen.net/md5db/" + string

New
def MD5(string, base):
url = "https://www.nitrxgen.net/md5db/" + string

Works now
