Supported Location URLs
ReplayWeb.Page uses URLs to uniquely identify web archives.
In addition HTTP/S, the system supports loading from additional cloud providers and via peer-to-peer decentralized services. The goal is to support loading web archives from any source a web browser can connect to.
The following is a list of currently supported URL schemes and details below:
| Scheme | Status |
|---|---|
https:// |
Supported |
http:// |

file:// |

s3:// |

googledrive:// |

hyper:// |

HTTP and HTTPS
While https://replayweb.page can load from any URL, a site must allow access by enabling CORS
for the web archive. HTTP URLs may not be accessible from https://replayweb.page since it requires HTTPS.
If you need to provide access to web archives stored on your own domain or over HTTP, consider deploying a copy on your server. See: Running your Own.
Local Files
Local files selected via the UI file chooser, and will be given a file:// URL.
Unlike other web archive URLs, file URLs can not be shared with others.
Amazon S3
The s3:// URL scheme is provided as a convenience to reference S3 URLs. The URL is converted to an HTTPS URL for access.
The S3 Bucket must be public and also provide access to https://replayweb.page via CORS.
Downloading via S3 credentials is not currently supported.
Google Drive
The googledrive:// URL scheme is used when accessing a web archive shared over Google Drive. It provides a unique identifier
provided via Google Drive. When accessing a Google Drive URL, the user will be asked to authenticate to be able to access the file.
IPFS
{: .d-inline-block }
Help Wanted {: .label .label-yellow }
The ipfs:// URL scheme is provide as a convenience and resolves to using the Cloudflare IPFS Gateway to download archives from IPFS.
A better implementation with IPFS directly is also possible.
DAT/Hyper
{: .d-inline-block }
Help Wanted {: .label .label-yellow }
Support for hyper:// is planned to allow true peer-to-peer transfer of web archives.
