Hi there, First of all, thanks for this option it's a lot helpfull for bypassing mass media sites with authorization and sites that were blocked in a country. However, I've just tried the option and unfortunately couldn't upload images through the extension. It would be nice to upload them into wallabag server as well as the article text.

Hi @GEkuL As far as I understand, it's not just about the content but the images can't be downloaded directly through the URLs transfered to wallabag?

@Simounet hi!

Wrote the issue a time ago, not 100% remember what was that about, but seems like the trouble was exactly in the images. Meaning, the content was backed up, but without pics. So the request was to add images into backing up web pages.

If you can share an URL to be sure of what the problem come from, it would help a lot. It would be a lot of work to transfert every image to wallabag (no API for that at the moment), then modify the content to link to wallabag's uploaded images. Or transform the images to data uri but it would be a mess from the database side. Not an easy feature to do anyway.
