Worked on the koreader/koreader repository to enhance the NewsDownloader plugin by implementing URL path encoding, addressing issues with spaces and special characters in article URLs. This targeted feature improved the reliability of content retrieval, reducing failed fetches and contributing to a smoother user experience. The approach focused on robust request handling at the plugin level, ensuring that network requests were properly formatted and compliant with expected standards. Utilizing Lua for both plugin development and network programming, the work adhered to pull request-driven code quality practices. No major bugs were reported, reflecting a focus on proactive reliability improvements rather than reactive fixes.
