[discussion/thought] Would a custom browser solution work better in terms of capabilities/UI than most current tools/proxies?

@hanoii I agree. The tool one uses to view the Web ought to be the same tool that is used to archive it. Daily driving browsers (e.g., Chrome and Firefox)...

Generate WARC-Payload-Digest and WARC-Block-Digest for WARC records

Thanks, @nlevitt . Would you happen to have a reference WARC with uncompressed HTML (e.g., explicit viewable in the WARC) to verify correctness between this library and what Htrix produces?...
