If you request a memento URL with a SURT form that is equivalent to the memento’s actual URL, the url property of the resulting memento object is incorrect — it reflects the URL you requested, rather than the actual, captured URL.
For example:
from wayback import WaybackClient
c = WaybackClient()
memento = c.get_memento('http://robbrackett.com/', datetime='20220315020402')
memento.url
# 'http://robbrackett.com/'
# But the actual capture was from:
# 'https://robbrackett.com/'
# The `link` header has the right info:
memento._raw_headers['link']
# '<https://robbrackett.com/>; rel="original", ...'
The right details are in the link header, and we should be parsing that. We’ve had a feature request to do that for a while (#57), but I hadn’t realized that there was a bug like this that we have to do it to properly work around.
