+* The Wayback Machine itself is not 100% reliable. Known issues include:
|
|
|
+ * Pages newer than the specified date (setting a specific YYYYMMDD date instead of a wider YYYYMM or YYYY helps with that);
|
|
|
+ * Random broken images;
|
|
|
+ * Strange 404 errors caused by bad server responses or incorrect URL capitalization at archival time;
|
|
|
+ * Infinite redirect loops;
|
|
|
+ * Server errors when it's having a bad day.
|
|
|
+* WaybackProxy will work around some redirection scripts (example: `http://example.com/redirect?to=http://...`) which are not archived by the Wayback Machine, but the destination URLs might not be archived as well.
|
|
|
* WaybackProxy is not a generic proxy. The POST and CONNECT methods are not implemented.
