Description

I love how ArchiveBox is downloading javascript files from a specific site, however to make minified javascript readable it would be great to also include the .map file (called javascript source maps. If I understand correctly they are the same name but ends in .js.map instead of .js). Can this be added easily ?

If someone would give me some pointers on where to start I could probably do the work

Research direction

Start by locating the existing extractor that downloads JavaScript assets and trace how archived page assets are discovered. Determine where source-map files would be handled, then add coverage showing that a matching .js.map file is downloaded alongside a compiled or minified .js asset.
