## Description

<code>Hoardy-Web</code> passively captures and collects dumps of <code>HTTP</code> requests and responses as you browse the web, and then archives them using one or more of the following methods:

<ul><li>by saving them into your browser’s local storage, which is the default;</li><li>by submitting them to your own private archiving server via <code>HTTP</code>, like<ul><li>the advanced archival+replay server <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/71b10fb1cc6fed34dc3a70badc780cddb1f632cc60bdb4a2dfdc7ac20895ab9a/https%3A//oxij.org/software/hoardy-web/tree/master/tool/" rel="nofollow"><code>hoardy-web serve</code></a> (also on <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/2eef382560b50907f1420257ceeda423ada7486b54144af1f0b17830f8e8ccf2/https%3A//github.com/Own-Data-Privateer/hoardy-web/tree/master/tool/" rel="nofollow">GitHub</a>) or</li><li>the simple archiving-only server <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/9862897bdd216d21c71a71efaf689dd3764bfd5b8361a7cb8b778b328f25d5cb/https%3A//oxij.org/software/hoardy-web/tree/master/simple_server/" rel="nofollow"><code>hoardy-web-sas</code></a> (also on <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/d6288af33f6422ac673e16b836c1fba52f16710bb8114ac6468b4b5c042da8cc/https%3A//github.com/Own-Data-Privateer/hoardy-web/tree/master/simple_server/" rel="nofollow">GitHub</a>);</li></ul></li><li>by generating fake-Downloads containing bundles of those dumps, making your browser simply save them to your <code>Downloads</code> directory.</li></ul>
<code>Hoardy-Web</code> produces dumps in a very simple, yet efficient, <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/2880ef29804bebf98d598cf1db3c5b66edb4c249c21323fdb7e9efb1f15743ad/https%3A//oxij.org/software/hoardy-web/tree/master/doc/data-on-disk.md" rel="nofollow"><code>WRR</code> file format</a> (also on <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/c3fce2adc69f56754c6e0c53bd290d194da1fe192a56d45fa64e3090000cbd91/https%3A//github.com/Own-Data-Privateer/hoardy-web/tree/master/doc/data-on-disk.md" rel="nofollow">GitHub</a>).

Moreover, <code>Hoardy-Web</code> implements:

<ul><li>UI indicators that help in ensuring good and complete website captures,</li><li>optional post-capture machinery that helps in archiving only select subsets of captured data;</li><li>archival+replay integration when used in combination with an <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/71b10fb1cc6fed34dc3a70badc780cddb1f632cc60bdb4a2dfdc7ac20895ab9a/https%3A//oxij.org/software/hoardy-web/tree/master/tool/" rel="nofollow">advanced archiving+replay server like <code>hoardy-web serve</code></a> (also on <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/2eef382560b50907f1420257ceeda423ada7486b54144af1f0b17830f8e8ccf2/https%3A//github.com/Own-Data-Privateer/hoardy-web/tree/master/tool/" rel="nofollow">GitHub</a>);</li><li>capture of <code>DOM</code> snapshots;</li><li>inspection of captured <code>HTTP</code> traffic, similar to browser’s own <code>Network Monitor</code> (except browser-wise, i.e., it can capture <code>HTTP</code> requests even when a page generates them when its tab/window closes; which a surprising number of websites does to prevent their web traffic from being inspected with <code>Network Monitor</code>);</li><li>some generally useful web browsing features (like per-tab <code>Work offline</code> mode).</li></ul>
In other words, this extension implements an in-browser half of your own personal private passive <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/dcb7c1576bb5a63ccf2941b88d67d9a4ba35eeab9c9021931f2f34e6e20e57cb/https%3A//web.archive.org/" rel="nofollow">Wayback Machine</a> that archives everything you see, including <code>HTTP POST</code> requests and responses (e.g. answer pages of web search engines), as well as most other <code>HTTP</code>-level data (<code>AJAX</code>, <code>JSON RPC</code>, etc).
