That's not a bug, that's funny, really funny! The VSoup1.1 beta has
no problem with the command above, because there is a bug in the
corresponding code - I've send something about it several days ago:
VSoup1.1 does not ignore the '-i' switch, but the 1.2 version does!
And now there is no way to tell VSoup1.2 the domain name other then
using the 'internet settings'!. I never thought about that case...
As a temporary fix, you should remove the '-i' switch from your
command line. In a future version there will be a command line option
for telling VSoup the domain name.
Hey, I think, this is also missing in Souper!?
