IO error during HTTP execution

Question

I used the web-harvest for 5 month and I tried to get the content of webs with this syntax:

<var-def name="raw">
<html-to-xml outputtype="pretty" usecdata="false">
    <http url="${URL.toString()}" />           
    </html-to-xml>      
</var-def>

I'd gotten the content, but recently I get this error:

ERROR - IO error during HTTP execution for URL: http://google.com

Might be a firewall, or internet connection issue. Try accessing the site first, or running the application as an administrator.
