preserve attachments of logged messages via HTTP request #477

Closed danthe1st closed 7 months ago

danthe1st commented 9 months ago

When a message with an attachment on Discord is deleted and the attachment is not requested within 2 minutes after deletion, Discord removes the attachment from its CDN.

This PR sends an HTTP request to the CDN endpoints corresponding to the attachments when a message is deleting which tells Discord to preserve the attachments (at least for a few hours from what I have seen).

I don't think this behavior is documented so it might not work like this forever.

This may not work that well if this is a regional cache which does not seem the case since I am able to access these attachments with a VPN.
