Add Project - Adding a project that is down results in error dialog

[JacobKlein]

Rom,

When I add a project with a made-up URL (like, for instance, http://www.madeupname.testin.com )...
The friendly dialog box says:
Project temporarily unavailable
The project is temporarily unavailable.
Please try again later.
... and the Event Log says:
4/9/2013 1:21:00 AM |  | Fetching configuration file from http://www.madeupname.testin.com/get_project_config.php
4/9/2013 1:21:02 AM |  | Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site
4/9/2013 1:21:04 AM |  | Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down.

BUT

When I add a project that is within the official list, which just happens to be down (like Superlink@Technion)...
The unfriendly dialog box says:
Failed to add project
An error has occurred;
check the Event Log for details.
Click Finish to close.
... and the Event Log says:
4/9/2013 1:23:20 AM |  | Fetching configuration file from http://cbl-boinc-server2.cs.technion.ac.il/superlinkattechnion/get_project_config.php
4/9/2013 1:23:27 AM |  | Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site
4/9/2013 1:23:28 AM |  | Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down.

Shouldn't both dialog boxes have been friendly here?
Especially since the Event Log entries are the same?

Because this happens in 7.0.28 also, I guess I'll create a ticket.

Thanks,
Jacob
