With use_archiveofourown_gay:true, the pictures don't download.

Images in that story are explicitly from "https://media.archiveofourown.org/..." in the HTML--even on archiveofourown.gay.

use_archiveofourown_gay:true changes that to media.archiveofourown.gay--and that domain isn't defined in the DNS, so it fails.

You can use browser cache instead for that one. Works for me with images.

Edit: correct domain name and grammar

Since around 2 weeks ago, images from syosetu.com have stopped working for me. I'm guessing it's an issue with their image hosting site mitemin.net?
I did try using browser cache to workaround it, but this didn't work for me as well

Did you forget a sentence? I can't understand this.

[Elseria]

My understanding is that stories on archiveofourown.gay still host images on "media.archiveofourown.org".
The use_archiveofourown_gay:true flag however also converts image URLs to "media.archiveofourown.gay", which is not valid and causes these image requests to fail

[ownedbycats]

Ah, that makes more sense. Maybe it can be fixed for a future update?

[ownedbycats]

For now, I added a note to the Problematic Sites: https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFa...oblematicSites

Wording maybe not good, change if want.

Correct. I've updated my post.

I've update that kludge to be more kludgey and *not* replace media.archiveofourown.org, or any other subdomain. Since www.archiveofourown.gay doesn't work, I assume no other subdomains exist.

I was able to download the images in that story. I would suspect it's an issue with the image hosting blocking.

Hi i keep getting 525 server error. I already turned off the adult_true, the user name and password, even put 4 in the slow down? How can i fix it?

I hope AO3 hurries up and fixes it so we can stop answering these questions.

Thank you for verifying.
I had initially dropped that idea since my VPNs were also not working.

I dug a bit deeper and for some reason or another, what ended up being the problem for me was it was unable to handle image URLs with leading forward slashes (src="//46613.mitemin.net/.../"), which resulted in a request with extra forward slashes after the https (https:////46613.mitemin.net/.../).

I added a line in the plugin code to replace "https:////" with "https://" and that fixed this for me.

Not sure why this only affected my end; I'm guessing some sort of windows setting on my machine that causes it to be a problem, but I'm not gonna worry about it.

It worked!

New question, re: the same story (https://archiveofourown.org/works/42492291). The cover selected the second image, not first. (Both downloaded.) I wanted to do anyways, but why did it happen?

EDIT: I also updated https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFa...s#mirror-sites to note the change.

My download used the first embedded image as cover.

However, that first image comes out quite small vertically with the default image_max_size. If you have a custom cover_min_size setting, it may have rejected the first image.
