Aliasing in ~/.bashrc did not resolve the issue with ArchiveBox SSL verification.

CHECK_SSL_VALIDITY malfunctions regardless of file location.

It only downloads sites with SSL issues when line in archivebox/config.py

CHECK_SSL_VALIDITY = os.getenv('CHECK_SSL_VALIDITY', 'False' ).lower() == 'False'

is modified

Can you verify that the environment variable is actually making it to archivebox by adding a line that line to print:

print('CHECK_SSL_VALIDITY=', os.getenv('CHECK_SSL_VALIDITY', 'UNSET'))

Or by running archivebox config --get=CHECK_SSL_VALIDITY.

Outputs CHECK_SSL_VALIDITY= UNSET

This is likely identical culprit to bug https://github.com/pirate/ArchiveBox/issues/268

Going to close the other issue and rename this one, since it seems to be a generic issue with config handling.

Do you mind posting the full output of archivebox version and archivebox config, and the exact command you're using to run archivebox.

From git

git clone https://github.com/pirate/ArchiveBox

$ ./archive version
ArchiveBox version b7ea44a1e

Config files are identical

~/.ArchiveBox.conf
ArchiveBox/etc/ArchiveBox.conf.default

To archive

./archive http://www.site-to-archive.com

Ah I thought you were running the v0.4 branch. The current version on master actually doesn't support config files at all, it's all done via environment variables, so you'd have to source your config file before running the command manually.

source ~/.ArchiveBox.conf
echo $CHECK_SSL_VALIDITY
./archive http://www.site-to-archive.com

Can you confirm that that outputs false before archivebox starts.

There is no issue any longer, setting environment variables works really well including for disabling media downloads.

$ source ~/.ArchiveBox.conf 
$ echo $CHECK_SSL_VALIDITY
False

Would be nice to define link depth and media specific objects.
