Re-fetch page for which title is missing

[零欸特]

Adding a link to pocket results in a "null" title

Steps to reproduce:

1. Right-click on a link
2. Click "Add to pocket"

Hi ! Thanks for the report. I can't reproduce this issue, everything works fine on my side for right-click "add to pocket", the title is correctly set.

• Can you reproduce the bug on any page / link?
• Which version of Firefox and In My Pocket are you using?

[零欸特]

Interesting, not every link produces a "null" title.

• Firefox Dev 59.0b11
• In My Pocket 0.8.1

Oh indeed, I have problems with links from "Greasy forum" too. Still, for some of your examples (bitbucket.org/eight04/ for instance), I'm not getting a null title.

Anyway I'll look into it, based on greasy forums links at least, and fix this.

Well, I don't have an obvious explanation yet. I might have a solution but no easy fix (if no title, I could fetch the page and parse it to get the title part) : the link is not yet opened so I don't have it's title available, and the pocket api returns a null title.

I'm currently checking with Pocket API team if there might be a fix on their side, and otherwise I'll look into solutions for this issue.

Maybe it is possible to fetch the title from Pocket API by making another request. I can see the title from https://getpocket.com/a/queue/.

Yep you're right, I forgot that the subsequent syncs do retrieve the title correctly.
