Different url for saving to archive.org #105

Open Darkle opened 4 months ago

Darkle commented 4 months ago

Hi, saving to archive.org doesn't seem to work for me. I think the url to save should be `https://web.archive.org/save/${e.url}` rather than `https://web.archive.org/web/${new Date().getFullYear()}0000000000*/${e.url}`

@Darkle thanks for the report! Can you write more + show screenshots of what you're experiencing?

I and others have used this extension for over a year with no problems with the Internet Archive URLs.

Darkle commented 4 months ago

Sure thing: clicking on the extension button, it opens tabs for both archive.today and archive.org.

The archive.today tab saves fine, but the archive.org tab looks like this:

Ah yeah that's what I've been using... is the /save/ page better somehow?

Some first questions:

  1. I guess it skips the step of clicking on the button?
  2. What happens when the URL in question is already saved?
Darkle commented 4 months ago

Yeah it skips clicking the button. If it's already saved, archive.org just redirects to the latest saved version.

Ok that seems like an improvement, nice! (and also, closer to the experience of archive.ph)

I'll try it out and publish a new version.
