ff.net parser is broken

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. $python downloader.py http://someff.neturlIdunno epub
2. Wait
3. script barfs and dies

FFnet has changed minor html.  Script does not fetch text, because it cannot 
find text, does not realize it has not fetched text until it attempts 
_removeEntities.  Should fail earlier.

I got it to work using the changes included in the attached patch.

The current hg version (not the current downloadable version) seems to already 
have this fixed; it downloaded a fic properly without having this patch applied.

The 0.1 download is severely out of date.  Hope to have an updated version 
soon.  The web app, http://fanfictionloader.appspot.com, and the current hg 
version are both working.
