Are links to images possible? #7

Feature request, I guess?

For example, when I look at Twitter or Mastodon via bitlbee, images are parsed as links to the image, eg.

20:06 <natecull> I'm... not a fan of zero terminated strings though, sorry. That feels like a big mistake. Can that be fixed?

Whereas receiving an image looks like this:

Forgive my ignorance; is there a way to emit an URL to the resource from the PulseSMS web app, for example?

Like the SMS messages themselves, images are end-to-end encrypted. eg https://www.googleapis.com/download/storage/v1/b/messenger-42616.appspot.com/o/d36cec1e7baf1898e82a523ca60130c43e5b5625d3eca37e914a3ff42ecd96ac%2F596058151747519?generation=1594425005777629&alt=media

Without the decryption keys, its not possible to have a direct link to the image. There's also no permalink within the pulsesms web app either (it renders them all inline using the decoded image data in a data: uri)

Spectrum2 has an option that can host downloaded inline images onto a separate http server... does bitlbee offer something similar?

No, I don't think so. That's okay; I'm actually more reassured about the encryption than bothered by the lack of images there. :) Thanks for answering!
