Arquivo.pt main goal is the preservation and access of web contents that are no longer available online. During the developing of the PWA IR (information retrieval) system we faced limitations in searching speed, quality of results, scalability and usability. To cope with this, we modified the archive-access project (http://archive-access.sourceforge.net/) to support our web archive IR requirements. Nutchwax, Nutch and Wayback’s code were adapted to meet the requirements. Several optimizations were added, such as simplifications in the way document versions are searched and several bottlenecks were resolved. The PWA search engine is a public service at http://archive.pt and a research platform for web archiving. As it predecessor Nutch, it runs over Hadoop clusters for distributed computing following the map-reduce paradigm. Its major features include fast full-text search, URL search, phrase search, faceted search (date, format, site), and sorting by relevance and date. The PWA search engine is highly scalable and its architecture is flexible enough to enable the deployment of different configurations to respond to the different needs. Currently, it serves an archive collection searchable by full-text with 180 million documents ranging between 1996 and 2010.

Arquivo404 is blocked by CORS policy when adding other memento compliant web archives #1350

Open VascoRatoFCCN opened 1 year ago

VascoRatoFCCN commented 1 year ago

Arquivo404 requires the memento servers to reply with the appropriate CORS header, otherwise it's blocked by the client's browser. The server should reply with the following header: Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *

Tried on the Internet Archive, the UK Government web archive and the New Zealand web archive and all requests were blocked by CORS policies:

Tested on more web archives and still haven't found a server that doesn't block CORS requests. All the following web archives were tested: UK Government web archive EU Exit Web Archive Internet Archive archive.today Bayerische Staatsbibliothek Archive-It Government of Canada Web Archive DBpedia Archive Icelandic Web Archive National Library of Ireland Web Archive National Records of Scotland perma.cc PRONI Web Archive Stanford Web Archive UK Parliament's Web Archive UK Web Archive New Zeland Web Archive
