This was Dice's idea ty!! Now, instead of crashing when looking up any pet whose name starts with a number, we do a clever lil workaround instead! We don't get *all* the data back (we're missing metadata), but that's fine for the main use case of typing your pet name in at the homepage.
Sigh, I guess xmlrpc was deleted? Back to the method that doesn't work for pets with leading digits in their names, sobbe
Dice has a neat idea for how to work around that, but I'm not sure how to fit it in our architecture, let's take a look!
It seems to be working!! How exciting!! I'm just letting it run on stuff now :3
One important issue is that Classic DTI doesn't show images for items modeled this way, because we don't download the SWFs for it. But I wanna update it to stop using AWS anyway and do the same stuff 2020 does, I think we can do that pretty sneakily!
