Finnish Book Source - National Library of Finland - Is Broken

A member is reporting via email that they are unable to search certain Finnish language sources, on the Add books page. One of those is: National Library of Finland. I tested this, using a number of different Finnish authors from my own catalog (Tove Jansson, Maria Turtschaninoff, Raija Siekkinen), and got the same notice that "The search has failed" each time.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to the Add books page https://www.librarything.com/addbooks

2. Select 'National Library of Finland' as the search database

3. Enter search term

4. The message "The search has failed" will appear

Just to be thorough:

Until this is fixed: https://www.librarything.com/topic/332272 none of us that are not LT staff can fix any of the sources.

There are four Finnish sources, but only one is working.

These don't work:
FENNICA - The National Bibliography of Finland
Melinda - Union Catalogue of University Libraries
National Library of Finland

This is the one that works:
Helsinki Metropolitan Libraries (public libraries of Helsinki region).

I don't know long those have been broken.

New address (persistent link) of Melinda (English version) is:
http://melinda.kansalliskirjasto.fi/F/?func=find-b-0&CON_LNG=eng&local_b...
Information about Melinda: https://www.kiwi.fi/display/melinda/In+English
Melinda is the most comprehensive source: all Finnish university libraries participate and many of the public libraries.

It seems that Melinda is not fixed. There are now only one Finnish source: Helsinki Metropolitan Libraries.

Just re-tested, working. May have been a glitch earlier on their end.
