Most of SPA websites today cannot be downloaded through httrack.


Yes SPAs will be next to impossible for a tool like this; I'm not sure how any tool could archive such a site tbh?


I use browsertrix-crawler[0] for crawling and it does well on JS heavy sites since it uses a real browser to request pages. Even has options to load browser profiles so you can crawl while being authenticated on sites.
