Warn users that they are leaving the Web archive to the live web #46

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Some links of the archived pages direct users to live web, away from the 
archived pages, without warning them about this redirection.

A warning should be shown to the users, telling them that they are going to be 
redirected to live Web and providing a fallback to stay on the archive.

For an example:

A few seconds after opening the URL:
http://arquivo.pt/wayback/wayback/id121322index0

The page is redirected (by Javascript) to http://www.ccvalg.pt/ (in the live 
web).

Added mockup with a coarse idea of a modal dialog that could do the trick.

As an alternative, if we could catch the information of the URL the user is 
redirecting to, we could rewrite the URL so that it still points to the archive 
and thus prevent users to leave.

Using the new viewer of archived pages, I think it could be possible to do so.
