This is some notes on one way to handle PDFs on servers not located on archive.org, since we run into CORS issues.

1. Goto: https://archive.org/some_service/https://example.com/example.pdf
2. This checks if URL already cached locally. If not, download it to archive’s server. May want to show some HTML for “please wait” message.
3. Then redirect to: https://archive.org/services/context/pdf/viewer/web/viewer.html?file=/path/local_copy_of_example.pdf

Code for this should probably be elsewhere than this repo.
