- hombre_fatal 5y agoThey rewrite the hrefs in the document so that you can easily click around inside the snapshot. The links just aren't necessarily archived as well, but sometimes they are.
- Liquid_Fire 5y agoWhat the parent commenters are saying is that URLs in the page which are _not links_ have also been rewritten, e.g. the ones in the source code snippets which are plain text. They are not clickable so it makes little sense to the user that they are rewritten. I imagine they probably have a pretty liberal regex working on the source code so that it can also rewrite URLs in JavaScript/CSS/etc.
