I noticed that on a computer that had the latest version of power BI installed, the link http://www.imdb.com/chart/top would not open.

 

I receive an error that states :

 

We have encountered an error while trying to connect.

 

Details: The supplied URL must be a valid "http" or "https" URL

 

The funn thing is that all other websites work. (I tried a few random ones). The issue is only with IMDB. I restarted my system, opened a new power BI project, but it still doesn't work.

 

When I opened the same link on another system that had the older version, it worked just fine.

 

Any Ideas as to what is going on??


Another user also faced a similar issue : http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Web-Data-Sources-connection-problem/m-p/160466#M69750

PS: I am new to power BI, so would really appreciate the help
