Unlike most sites, hpfandom.net doesn't use the 'storyId' in each chapter URL.
I'm looking into how that might be worked around, but there are difficulties. |
It isn't promising.
Without hitting the server, FFF can't tell that the URL given is for a later chapter, not the start of the story. There's at least three ways that causes problems.
First, I can modify the site adapter to figure that the URL given isn't the 'story' URL. I have this code in hand and it allows downloads using chapter URLs.
Second, the plugin would need to be changed to allow the story URL to be changed after metadata fetch. For virtually all other sites, a 'normalized' story URL can be made without hitting the site and that's what's stored in the calibre DB.
Third, the Reject URL list check as is will not work correctly when you give a chapter URL. The reject list check would have to be later in the processing, changing the behavior and possibly causing other problems.
Perusing the existing code, however,, there are a small number of other site adapters that also set the story URL after fetching data. So I guess I'll have to think about this more deeply and come up with an actual solution.
