Can this be re-opened? The linked issue is about the webarchive format, which is a totally different thing.

WARC is the one that archiveteam and libraries have thrown their weight behind: http://fileformats.archiveteam.org/wiki/WARC

Oh I didn't know they were different, thanks @eqyiel.

Just requires adding a new config FETCH_WARC option and archive_method.fetch_warc:

for the record, pywb has trouble reading wget WARC file as its output is non-standard: https://github.com/webrecorder/pywb/issues/294 you might want to consider another crawler for the task or see that wget fixes their stuff first.

The bookmark-archiver is mentioned in a recent LWN article:
https://lwn.net/Articles/766374/

WARC archives seems the be the way to go for archiving webpages, especially for SPAs and other JS-heavy and streaming pages. Wget is -- according to that article -- a little broken in terms of WARC output, but there are a list of alternatives which works fine.

It would be very nice if bookmark-archiver get support for WARC archives.

I saw the article, and I actually emailed @anarcat about it since it turns out we both live in Montreal.

I think if I add WARC saving I want to do it with https://github.com/internetarchive/brozzler and a headless browser to cover all the edge cases around JS execution.

The easiest way to do this might be to just point the headless browser you already run to a WARC recording proxy. However brozzler looks like a nicely maintained piece of software (and way better than the old Java stuff the IA was using before), so maybe migrating to that can be a longer term goal.

EDIT: just noticed there's #113 for brozzler already.

Wget WARC file output is now supported in e8808b0, via the FETCH_WARC=True flag (on by default).

I'll investigate creating another a more complete warc including dynamic requests with the chrome proxy, but for now the simpler wget one is worth testing in the interim.

WARCs are nice for bundling all resources needed to render a page in a browser, but using wget generates a WARC which is just a container for the HTML. Maybe open a new issue for the browser integration?

Yeah, actually I think I'll turn it off by default for now because it's too minimal to be a default until we get warcprox working with headless.

Here's the new issue to track the all-in-one WARC file https://github.com/pirate/ArchiveBox/issues/130
