zotlabs.org is a special case because it never ever returns a HTTP code.

But it does time out when trying over https. There's no reason we should ever contact it directly via HTTP is it?

@Poul Udbye Pock-Steen Ok, I have not looked into the attachment name yet. I'll see if I get time tomorrow.

I've made a merge request that I think will fix this issue here:
#^https://framagit.org/hubzilla/core/-/merge_requests/2301

@Poul Udbye Pock-Steen Ai, that's not good... I'll have a look.

@Der Pepe (Hubzilla) ⁂ Terms can be confusing, but the two attributes have different meaning for a reason.

The alt attribute is the one being used by screen readers to provide image descriptions to blind or visually impaired people.

The title attribute however is a global attribute meant to provide additional info about whatever element it's attached to. This is typically shown as a tooltip when hovering over the element.

Most screen readers will fall back to the title if the alt attribute is not present, but it's not safe to rely on that. The attributes are distinct and has a different purpose for a reason.

@Der Pepe (Hubzilla) ⁂ are you sure about that?

The example from @𝓒𝓱𝓻𝓲𝓼 above does not set the correct html alt attribute:

<img class="zrl" loading="eager" style="width: 100px; height: 200px; max-width: 100%; cursor: zoom-in;" alt="Bilde/fotografi" title="Alt Text" src="https://klacker.org/photo/cd747cd9-3f05-42cd-94cc-91c7368c5a18-2.png">

Don't confuse the alt attribute with the title which is the one that pops up when you hover over the image.

@Poul Udbye Pock-Steen In which text field do you observe this behaviour?

To actually get an alt attribute in the generated html, use something like [zmg ... alt="a bleak outlook over a nascent moon"]

There's a few other attributes supported as well. Here's a complete list:

• alt="Alt text"
• title="A title"
• width="42" with in px.
• height="66" height in px.
• class="myclass otherclass" custom CSS classes.

In addition there's a legacy format still supported:

[zmg=42x66 float=left alt=some alt text at end]

Note that the order of the attributes must be exactly like this in the legacy format. Both the float and alt attributes are optional, but must come in this order if present.

Note also that the float attribute is not directly supported in the new format, but can be simulated by setting a CSS class instead.

I think we should probably add back the float attribute directly in the new format as well.

I think this policy for Subplot by Lars Wirzenius is good too:

I especially like the resources section.
