or maybe not. If I add this statement

         print repr(response)

right before the one that prints the error message below, it prints:

<Response [200]>

IIUC, this means that shaarli answers with an HTTP response code 
*instead* of something in JSON format, as expected, and is this that 
causes the error:

"JSONDecodeError: Expecting value..."

by simple_json. Am I right? If yes, what now?

Thanks,
Marco
