Archiving an archive? #371

Closed edsu closed 4 weeks ago

edsu commented 4 weeks ago

I realize this isn't a common use case but I tried using scoop to archive a page in the Internet Archive Wayback Machine:

$ scoop https://web.archive.org/web/20051221165217if_/https://ldodds.com/writing/

You can find the WACZ here:

I noticed that the screenshot looks fine:

But replay gets confused by some kind of recursive loop!

Is there any way around this?

Hi @edsu 👋 ! I think this is a known playback issue with replayweb.page? Probably worth checking with folks at Webrecorder. Cheers!

@ikreymer just let me know that using the id_ instead of if_ view works ok!

@edsu For what it's worth, I get "Archived Page Not Found" when following that link.

Weird, I don't see that ...
