zimit refuses to pull pdf files stored on wordpress site #81

Ran a zimit session of https://educate.gov.jm/index.php/resources/ The page is pretty straitghtforward inasmuch as it is a wordpress site with a list of links. Each link is to a pdf file.

Zimit copied the landing page (here is the recipe) but failed to collect the PDF files behing the links (only returned net::ERR_FAILED)

@ikreymer Sounds like a problem with the spider. Would you be able to confirm?

@rgaudin Can we link this please with an upstream ticket?

This is eventually a recipe mistake as the PDF files, while on the same domain name, are below the home page and thus the default scope:

https://educate.gov.jm/index.php/resources/ is the home and scope
https://educate.gov.jm/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/eHome-School-Network-Broadcast-Schedule-Week-2-January-11-15-2021-FINAL.pdf is where content is

You can fix the recipe by setting the --scope param to https://educate.gov.jm/
