Showing images

[mattecapu]

At the moment, images from threads are displayed by using the original Zulip URL which results in a 401 if the server is not public (e.g. here).

Does someone know a workaround for this? As last resort I might consider downloading them during text scraping.

I am not aware of a workaround for this. I think structurally, the right solution is probably for zulip-archive to download images using its own credentials and include them in its archive, with some caching story to avoid downloading them all every day.

(The "web public streams" work in the Zulip server might also provide a convenient way to make images world-readable, so one could also wait for that)

Is there any way to configure zulip-archive to stash local copies of images along with the message content?

I believe that remains unsupported, though I don't think it'd be a very complex feature to add. PRs welcome!
