summary
Information and documentation. WARC file format. | Status: Confirmed, Current
description
1 Scope
This document specifies the WARC file format:
- — to store both the payload content and control information from mainstream Internet application layer protocols, such as the HTTP, DNS, and FTP;
- — to store arbitrary metadata linked to other stored data (e.g. subject classifier, discovered language, encoding);
- — to support data compression and maintain data record integrity;
- — to store all control information from the harvesting protocol (e.g. request headers), not just response information;
- — to store the results of data transformations linked to other stored data;
- — to store a duplicate detection event linked to other stored data (to reduce storage in the presence of identical or substantially similar resources);
- — to be extended without disruption to existing functionality;
- — to support handling of overly long records by truncation or segmentation, where desired.
