Too bad dreamwidth hosted blogs are behind cloudflare and set to block non-corporate (or older) browsers. Try to read this post from a Debian Jessie system and you'll just get a cloudflare page that doesn't work.

Here is the response I got.

   the route "/11840.html" is not recognized

Internet Archive works for Dreamwidth sites. For me, I add one line to a text file and the localhost forward proxy prefixes the URLs automatically.

https://web.archive.org/web/20220719195142if_/https://diziet...

FWIW, I use a non-corporate browser.

Thanks for your comment. I realized now that achive.org's "archive string" (here 20220719195142if_) is updated automatically. So if I use this string + some other URL, then I get redirected to a current snapshot of that other site, e.g.

https://web.archive.org/web/20220719195142if_/http://ranprie...

points me to

https://web.archive.org/web/20220723235055if_/https://ranpri...

I suppose the string consists of date + time in hhmmss format + if_? Anyhow, looks like arbitrary strings (e.g. 19991230225818if_) also get redirected to the next existing snapshot counting from that string. This is really nice and simple for text browser scripts.

Is there some straightforward way to list all of archive.org's snapshots (of a particular site) without a javascript-enabled browser?
