Steps to Reproduce

mercury-parser https://tweakers.net/nieuws/149154/nederlandse-supercomputerbouwer-clustervision-is-failliet.html

Also in API

Not certain if this is helpful or not. This problem also happens when using the API variant of mercury. As far as I know pages from this site DID work for the online version.

The change for returning more specific errors on failed parse attempts has been merged into master and will be included in the next release.

Thanks. Appreciated. I think this closes the topics for me.

Just want to point out that the non public version of mercury - the one that will soon go out of production in fact does work with the example URL. So apparently we are on a different branch.
