astroplan: HTTPError: Forbidden for download_IERS_A()
Run into this in #177. I’ve repushed the latest commit, but it seems to be more than just a fluke and failed again. I hasn’t managed to reproduce it locally.
A failing build, e.g. https://travis-ci.org/astropy/astroplan/jobs/147020338

Can confirm ☝️
Here’s how I fixed it, for anyone else looking for the fix:
Having the
download_IERS_A
function try the backup if the original fails seems to be the obvious solution.
