Subject: Bug (Trunk): Redirect fails in Duckduckgo
Date: Sat, 14 Jan 2017 00:34:24 -0500

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

    Due I believe to a change in Duckduckgo's API, eww is no longer able to work with Duckduckgo.  It appears that they are using a referrer tag with single quotes rather than double quotes.  The attached patch fixes this.
