Hi! 👋 thanks for providing this great resource!

The Cocomo link here:

scraper/scraper/util.py

Line 166 in 84545d6

cocomo_url = "https://csse.usc.edu/tools/cocomoii.php"

doesn't seem to work anymore.

curl "https://csse.usc.edu/tools/cocomoii.php"
curl: (7) Failed to connect to csse.usc.edu port 443: Operation timed out

The USC site links to http://softwarecost.org/tools/COCOMO/ and the scraper seems to work when I update cocomo_url to this softwarecost.org URL. Do you think the link should be updated? Thanks!

Thanks @lbeaufort !

This is the second time they've changed the URL on us. :)

I don't suppose you're willing to submit the PR to fix the URL are you?

I'd be happy to, I'll do that today :)
