Images not downloading properly since 11/21

[xojojo]

Since around 11/21 images are no longer saving properly. I think they must have done something server-side, because hotlinking image URLs (in the wx[n].sinaimg.cn format) also doesn't work and throws a 403 Forbidden instead. The same happens for gifs; videos still download fine. Maybe this is a geographic thing? I'm located in Canada.

A (temporary?) workaround is to go through Oasis image links. Instead of wx[n].sinaimg.cn/large/filename.jpg, using lz.sinaimg.cn works fine. The rest of the URL can stay the same, just changing the subdomain.

I temporarily patched the extension for myself by adding a tiny replace to const host in content/feed/download/download.js function downloadImage():

const host = new URL(img.src).host.replace(/^[^.]*/, 'lz');

It seems to work fine for downloading single posts, though I haven't tried downloading a whole feed.

I don't actually know how to submit a PR or if there's a better solution, but leaving this comment here in case anyone else is running into the same problem.
