I am not having any luck getting this recipe to work. I have verified that I am getting the correct URL by sending the request through my proxy and checking the requested URL via curl.

I've run ebook-convert from the command-line (with and without '--test'):

$ ebook-convert LWN.net\ Weekly\ Edition_6.recipe /tmp/lwn-calibre -d /tmp/lwn-calibre-debug -vv

What's left in either directory, however, appears to be just the skeleton without content. Presumably it's getting destroyed by the processing.

It would be nice if I could preserve the temp directory that it downloads the content into--the contents should be the same as the -d debug directory, but I have a feeling they aren't. (In trying to prevent the temp directory from being removed, I've gone so far as to try "os.kill(getpid(), 9)", but I due to forking/threading I'm not getting it in the right process or right time.)
