HTTP404 AFLOWDataRetrieval request

Hi,

I`m having some troubles requesting information using the AFLOWDataRetrieval class, and have been using the unit-test at the github repository to reproduction.

This has resulted in the following error:
======================================================================
ERROR: test_get_data (main.AFLOWDataRetrievalTest)

Hi there,

Sorry for the late reply! This looks like we need to update the AFLOW code. I’ll add this to the current issues. In the meantime, if you have a fix for it, we would welcome a PR!

Thanks,
Alex

Thank you.
I am currently in the end game of a thesis and therefore did a workaround. When I have more time, I will investigate if my workaround can be provided as a fix. I’ll keep you posted.

Best regards,
Oliver
