pywb.rewrite
This package includes the content rewriting component of the pywb wayback tool suite.
This package applies standard rewriting content rewriting, in the form of url rewriting, for HTTP headers, html, css, js and xml content.
An additional domain-specific rewritin is planned, especially for JS, to allow for proper replay of difficult pages.
Command-Line Rewriter
To enable easier testing of rewriting, this package includes a command-line rewriter which will fetch a live url and apply the registered rewriting rules to that url:
Run:
python ./pywb.rewrite/rewrite_live.py http://example.com
To specify custom timestamp and prefix:
python ./pywb.rewrite/rewrite_live.py http://example.com /mycoll/20141026000102/http://mysite.example.com/path.html
This will print to stdout the content of http://example.com with all urls rewritten relative to
/mycoll/20141026000102/http://mysite.example.com/path.html.
Headers are also rewritten, for further details, consult the get_rewritten function in
pywb_rewrite/rewrite_live.py
Tests
Rewriting doctests as well as live rewriting tests (subject to change) are provided.
pywb.rewrite is part of a full test suite that can be executed via
python run-tests.py
