One doesn't preclude the other, but I have serious doubts about free speech concerns. There are moderate and extreme movements in Europe. They all express themselves freely within the law.

I must admit I'm a little disappointed that the bot isn't able to do this. It would be much more efficient.

I think there's been a misunderstanding, there was an error in the article suggesting that zip.min.js is not inlined in the page. This error has been corrected meanwhile. I'm sorry for that. The goal is obviously to create pages t

A <noscript> script would be even more suitable, but I agree with the principle. I added a link to view the demo without downloading the file, see https://gildas-lormeau.github.io/Polyglot-HTML-ZIP-PNG/demo.... (

For the record, I've just added a link to view the file without downloading it.

That was just an example of syntax, nothing prevents you from blocking more resources and sandbox the page.

Thanks, it was an error on my part, now corrected.

This is done on purpose, so you can rename the file to make sure it's polyglot.

Indeed, for example the HTML of the files used for the presentation slides [1] use <noframe> tags to keep the HTML well-formed. This point is addressed in the conclusion of the presentation. [1] https://github.com/gild

Note that if you're on iOS, it's possible that the HTML page doesn't work at all because when it's opened from the filesystem, it's displayed by a viewer which doesn't support JS instead of Safari.

It's possible to define the Content Security Policy with a <META> tag in the "bootstrap page" and prevent this kind of security issue, e.g. <META http-equiv="content-security-policy" content="connect-s

You're right, SingleFile (which is capable of saving pages in this format) does a little better than the demo, but it can also be optimized. In fact, I chose the JSON format to keep things as simple and didactic as possible for the pre

Note that you can also take advantage of the fact that a ZIP can be password-protected and make your web page secret! For example https://gildas-lormeau.github.io/private/ (password: "thisisapage").

I agree that it's debatable, which is why I used the word “almost” ;). The fact remains that this info isn't in RFCs and is hard to find on the web.

The saved page is encoded in windows-1252. It includes "consolidation data" to read the ZIP data as text from the DOM and recover the replacements of \r and \r\n occurrences (this is the only data loss and it represents approx. 1%

I took another approach in SingleFile by offering a way to save pages as self-extracting pages (i.e. ZIP/HTML polyglot files), see [1] for more info. [1] https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/Polyglot-HTML-ZIP-PNG

I'm actually referring to the "set of modifications" described here [1] and the fact that only Chromium can open (these) MHTML files today. [1] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FvmYUC0S0BkdkR7wZsg

Because the MHTML format produced by Chromium can almost be considered as proprietary.

Thank you so much Niki :). The P2P sharing is a great idea. I really hope this feature will get things moving in the archiving field.

In the same vein, you can package HTML pages as self-extracting ZIP files with SingleFile [1]. You can even include a PNG image to produce files compatible with HTML, ZIP and PNG [2], and for example display the PNG image in the HTML page [
