Summary

Client-side rewriting for all web archives!

It is a well known fact that server-side URL rewriting of archived JavaScript is less than perfect due to the "dynamic" nature of JavaScript. This extension aims to address that issue for the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine by patching the global JavaScript environment in order to perform client-side rewriting. The client-side rewriter used was automatically generated using a means I have developed.
