📄 Description

Summary

Open Graph Tags is a mechanism for a website to provide metadata when an URL is shared through social media. I encountered some rare cases that the webpage's <title> tag is set through Javascript dynamically at page load, but an og:title metadata is present.

This PR make use of open graph tags as a fallback for grabbing page title (also has the potential to gather other metadatas). It extend the title extractor with HTMLParser, not breaking any existing behaviour. The <title> tag content is still the highest priority.

I did not extend the existing regex expression because the HTML is complicated and contains many special cases that cannot be handled easily by regex. In examples below, two attributes in <meta> is in different order and only the second one has <xxx /> form. I didn't even try to parse it through regex. 💫

examples:

link2: Blogspot

<meta content="分析台湾可取icatch DVR固件" property="og:title">

link1: WeChat Platform ,

<meta property="og:title" content="Cocos2dx-js 逆向分析乘凉" />
