This morning, flickr upload stopped working (on 1.4.2).  Initially, there
were complaints about the authentication token no longer being valid, so I
cleared out all the username and token info and reauthenticating.  When
darktable popped up the browser window as usual, I got the following error
from Flickr:

*Oops! Flickr doesn't recognise the "frob" this application is trying to
use.*

An external application has requested your login credentials and permission
to perform certain actions on your behalf, but has failed to include all
the required data.
(And more stuff about how it's not Flickr's problem.)

The URL in my browser window was:
https://www.flickr.com/services/auth/?api_key=1d25b2dfcceba8c55fecb27645c968a3&perms=write&;
*frob=(null)*&api_sig=e6ced3380cf3c39fe4af26f7c64fc13c

I did some poking around in the source code (and the source code for
flickurl) and suspect that one of the calls to the flickr api
(flickr.auth.getFrob) is no longer working since Flickr turned off non-SSL
access to its API yesterday (
http://code.flickr.net/2014/04/30/flickr-api-going-ssl-only-on-june-27th-2014/).
 It seems that the latest release of flickcurl is using the old http
endpoints, but the head code in github seems to have corrected it.

I could probably build my own flickcurl package from github master and
solve it (at least for ubuntu), but I'm sure there are a bunch of users who
are stuck right now.  Is there a way this could be worked into a quick
1.4.3 release?  I'm certainly willing to pitch in and help any way I can.

Thanks,
Rich
