Could not import DFG-Viewer example (caused by image URL with redirect?) #8

Closed stweil closed 5 years ago

stweil commented 6 years ago

While trying to process the BSB example, the METS import fails:

[...]
  File "/code/demetsiiify/mets.py", line 376, in image_info
    'mimetype': server_mime}) from exc
demetsiiify.mets.MetsImportError: Could not open image from http://daten.digitale-sammlungen.de/~db/0002/bsb00020619/images/150/bsb00020619_00015.jpg, likely the server sent corrupt data.
[...]

The image link works in a web browser and redirects to a different web page.

demetsiiify shows an error message with missing information:

 Unfortunately we were unable to generate a IIIF manifest from the METS located at

                                                           .

The error was logged in our backend and will be examined. If you wish to help with debugging, you can consult the traceback below and open an issue on GitHub.

In the meantime I also noticed that demetsiiiify cannot import from https links.

There seems also to be a problem when the images use https links.

So I finally got around to looking at this after doing some refactoring. I can't reproduce it locally with the new code, so either I inadvertently fixed the bug that caused the redirects and HTTPS not to work, or it's due to the setup on the production server. I have a few more urgently needed maintenance work I need to do on the code, but the app should be up and running on the new server by Sunday at the latest, then we'll see if it actually works :-)

Btw, if you wait until mid-2019, we'll hopefully most of the remaining volumes at the BSB online with proper IIIF support :-)

A new test with the latest code from Git master works, so this issue can be closed. Thank you!
