I have this small tool that I have been using for ages to convert property lists into different formats to analyse them in detail. I never thought it would be useful for anybody else, but feel free to try it on your webarchives.
You will end up with another property list, that is just as readable by GNUstep as was the original one. But it might be easier for you to read the content. You will see just as Ivan described that there is one WebMainResource plus a list of WebSubresources all consisting of the same structure. And under the key WebResourceData of each you will find the file content. I did not look at how these files are encoded, from the original file I would expect them to be another binary property list. Maybe these are in NSFileWrapper serialized format, a format the GNustep is still missing. Fred Am 17.11.2014 um 16:23 schrieb Ivan Vučica: > It's a binary plist.
