Hey web devs, not breaking links doesn’t have to be hard…
Heard of the 404 → 307 technique? (Well, now you have!)
@aral Really like this approach to preserving links! Would there anyway to do this without still running the old site, e.g. DNS + wayback machine?
@JeffersonBledsoe You could just rewrite the links to Wayback Machine, I guess. But it doesn’t store things exactly as they were always. That said, you could also try a static export of some sort and map to that. You could have that on the same machine. That’s what I do on ar.al with a static export of my Wordpress content going back a few decades.
