Bug Description

The fix announced in the 0.12.7 release does not seem to work.
When using the MPC search tool, it does not give any answer, and the console displays this:

Done reading minor planet orbital elements. Recognized 0 candidate objects out of 1 lines.
No objects found in the file downloaded from "http://www.minorplanetcenter.net/cgi-bin/mpeph2.cgi?ty=e&TextArea=242&e=-1&d=&l=&i=&u=d&uto=0&c=&long=&lat=&alt=&raty=a&s=t&m=m&adir=S&oed=&resoc=&tit=&bu=&ch=c&ce=f&js=f"

If I directly put the request in Firefox, I get an elements.txt with this line:
00242 9.3 0.15 K172G 31.65139 279.83147 206.93485 11.35194 0.1196862 0.20343753 2.8631801 0 MPO399993 1825 45 1885-2017 0.44 M-v 38h MPC 0000 (242) Kriemhild 20170308

(and a second empty line)

So it seems that Stellarium fails to correctly read the file from the MPC website.

Thanks in advance for your support.
