Snapshoting a URL is not possible, result is 404
Hello,
I have the problem that I wanted to save and snapshot the page https://medium.com/@gustavo.guss/jenkins-archive-artifact-save-file-in-pipeline-ac6d8b569c2c. I can click on the Zotero icon in Firefox and it tells me that everything seems to have succeeded.
By chance I opened the snapshot I just created and all it shows is a 404 error of medium.com.
With this behavior it is not 100% safe to use Zotero as I always have to recheck if the snapshot is safed correctly. I assume there is some JavaScript magic happening here that causes the trouble. But this makes it more unreliable as I have another question: Who tells me that the snapshot is as it should be and no JS magic is loading the main part from the original server? I fear I save some page and at some later point I want to revisit the snapshot. If the upstream page has been altered by then and the snapshot loads the major part of the page via JS, my snapshot is useless.
I assume the best I could get is a 1:1 clone of the current DOM tree at the moment of clicking on snapshot. Do I get that?
Can you tell me if there is a problem with my configuration or if this is just "bad luck"?
Thanks
Christian

As a side note: I found this plugin for firefox useful as it seems to read the raw data: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/save-page-we/ Maybe you can use its library or adopt accordingly.
