I'm on ACT, and it appears that I can access both http://web.archive.org/ http://web.archive.org/ and https://web.archive.org/ https://web.archive.org/ On Airtel, I can't access the http version. So must be an Airtel specific block, unrelated to the "Indian Government."

archive.org is still getting blocked over Airtel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25276595/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/25276595/

  That's not blocking. I get exactly the same response from Germany. What's happening is this: HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Location: https://archive.org They're upgrading you from HTTP to HTTPS. curl, by default, does not follow redirects. Add `--location` to enable it: $ curl --location --head archive.org HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Server: nginx/1.4.6 (Ubuntu) Date: Wed, 09 Aug 2017 13:20:21 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 X-Powered-By: PHP/5.5.9-1ubuntu4.21 Location: https://archive.org Age: 0 Connection: keep-alive Via: 1.1 akamai (ACE 5.8.1/5.8.1) HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: nginx/1.4.6 (Ubuntu) Date: Wed, 09 Aug 2017 13:20:22 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Connection: keep-alive X-Powered-By: PHP/5.5.9-1ubuntu4.21 Set-Cookie: PHPSESSID=kb7jsuslq8hrsfg96obqc5gnq3; path=/; domain=.archive.org EDIT: Apparently archive.org does not do HSTS. If they did, a lot less people would be noticing the censorship.

Same here. I can access http://web.archive.org/ http://web.archive.org/ on ACT and on my university campus internet which peers directly with the National Internet Backbone (NIB).

Airtel is usually very responsive in these cases, while ACT isn't. I'm on ACT and I can also access fine.
