Re: [Archive-access-discuss] XML API

[Bradley T. <br...@ar...>]

Hi Gina,

I've looked at the source code, and it looks like a bug..

For the global Wayback release we implemented a forced redirect to the 
standard ArchivalURL for form queries (with GET CGI arguments.)

Unfortunately, this was put into the mainline codebase, without a 
configuration option.

I've added the AccessPoint option - this behavior will be disabled by 
default - and will post a release 1.6.2 in a couple days after some testing.
