Canonicalize non-GET URLs with native JSON values #859

Open tw4l opened 11 months ago

tw4l commented 11 months ago

The way that pywb rewrites URLs for POST (and other non-GET) request canonicalization ends up writing Pythonic values into the URL such as True, False, and None, whereas we ideally want to have it use valid JSON values.

This is part of making POST canonicalization consistent across Webrecorder tools. Related to https://github.com/webrecorder/specs/issues/141

We will also need to ensure that the fuzzy matching in pywb and wabac.js works with previously-created URLs created by pwyb, or develop a process to reindex as necessary.
