Some image scraping silently fails

[maximecb]

First I'd like to say thank you for putting in the work to create this export script 🙏

I'd like to report an issue with the image export. The script seems to be able to scrape most of the images on my blog just fine, but some images seem to randomly not get scraped and I don't know why. Some of the images are wrapped in links while others are not.

Example in the exported output. I would have expected this image to get scraped and be replaced by a relative URL:

I ran the export script with the following arguments:

node index.js \
--input=pointersgonewild.xml \
--output=exported \
--include-other-types=false \
--year-folders=false \
--month-folders=false \
--post-folders=true \
--prefix-date=true \
--save-attached-images=true \
--save-scraped-images=true

@lonekorean I would say that your WordPress export script is very nearly perfect. I can go and manually scrape the failed images myself, but it would be even better if the script could handle it.
