Let me be clear: Thanks, Xavier!

httrack was extremely helpful and there really was no equal. The “modern” web requires a live JS engine, but as you point out, even the “old” web had server-side logic that couldn’t be captured.

In that light, I think httrack has stood up pretty well and nobody expects you to go rewrite it or clean it up. If someone today has a mostly static site they want to archive without writing custom code, I would still recommend httrack (it’s more controllable than wget or similar). I just assume that those sites are mostly gone :(.
