When saving on the WayBack machine at web.archive.org/save terminates the connection
Posted by jpluimers on 2019/05/27
When you get the response “web.archive.org unexpectedly closed the connection” without even returning an HTTP code, but:
- it works in anonymous mode
- it works with all extensions turned off
then likely there are too many cookies for archive.org or/and web.archive.org: in my case, I had 90 cookies.
Cleaning these cookies out resolved the problem (I used [WayBack] Awesome Cookie Manager for this).
