Description
When we try to call scrape() on a new URL such as microsoft.com/word, it just hangs sometimes.
Try to debug it, identify the root cause and update this issue. Then fix it.
It may be that the external sites are blocking our servers. In this case, let's implement Websites_Scrape
class, with the Adapter Pattern. So we can use Websites_Scrape_ScraperAPI
for instance, as an adapter that will use the Scraper API. The credentials should be stored under "Websites"/"scrape"/"api"/... in local/app.json
config. (Use https://www.scraperapi.com/)
