[usecase] Daum FanCafe - [object Object] problem; little captured
Version 2.0.1 of the Webrecorder-Desktop (and possibly Webrecorder) does not correctly capture content that involves Daum's fancafe BBS. From what I can understand, Daum appears to be modifying the URL of the page through Javascript after it has been loaded. What Daum is doing seems to work in Preview mode, but does not work in Capture mode. When the WARC is reviewed after the capture, very little appears to be correctly captured.
For example, the following hyperlink is for a fancafe on Daum: http://cafe.daum.net/ok1221 http://cafe.daum.net/ok1221
Preview Mode When a user first accesses that URL in Preview mode, the URL will be the following: http://cafe.daum.net/ok1221
When the user clicks one of the boards in that bulletin board system, the URL will correctly reflect that:
- Bulletin Board "전체 공동구매": http://cafe.daum.net/ok1221/9oZw
- When on Bulletin Board "전체 공동구매", Post 37: http://cafe.daum.net/ok1221/9oZw/37
Capturing Mode If we attempt to access the original URL again when in Capture mode, the end of the URL eventually changes from the original desired URL to something ending with "[object Object]". http://cafe.daum.net/[object%20Object]
When a user clicks one of the boards or one of the posts, the "object Object" problem keeps appearing:
- Bulletin Board: http://cafe.daum.net/ok1221/[object%20Object]
- Post: http://cafe.daum.net/ok1221/9oZw/[object%20Object]
I've seen somewhat similar behavior when accessing that kind of content with Firefox, but I'm not sufficiently experienced with web design and diagnosis to understand precisely why this problem is occurring.
