Re: [Archive-access-discuss] Can Wayback cope with window.open('{URL}','_self'); ?

[Bjarne A. <bj...@st...>]

I have a feeling that this is not possible when using the broswer-based rewriting engine.
You would need to use either the serverside rewriting (I never tried that) or proxy based replay (which we allways use at Netarchive.dk to gain the most optimal replay) to catch a thing like this.

Emne: [Archive-access-discuss] Can Wayback cope with window.open('{URL}','_self'); ?

Hi All,

We're having problems with live-leakage, in that if you go to:

http://www.webarchive.org.uk/wayback/archive/20081212111012/http://www.woolworthsgroupplc.com/site/woolworths.asp<http://www.webarchive.org.uk/wayback/archive/20081212111012/http:/www.woolworthsgroupplc.com/site/woolworths.asp>

Then some JavaScript immediately redirects you to the live version of the site:

window.open('http://www.woolworths.co.uk/','_self');

Does anyone know if there is any existing code in Wayback one can use to override this behaviour?

Thanks for your time,
Andy Jackson
