Go to https://archive.ph/jXv3A#selection-5079.208-5079.212 Click on "Filed on Tuesday" and it will redirect you to a site telling you to download something.

(To be fair, that isn't the only redirect so you might need to click it a few times.)

It immediately stands out that that link is to a /wp-content URL. AKA wordpress. AKA PHP. AKA very recently vulnerable (and perhaps still)...

Whereas other links (e.g. the immediate next one to arxiv) seem unaffected.

edit: That was a red herring. It seems to redirect all .pdf links I try that don't point to a valid snapshot. Very interesting.

Thanks, that's pretty much all I was looking for. Was able to reproduce but then started getting 429s.
I reproduced it too but was hoping to get a log, now all I get is 429 as well.

Just for the sake of preserving what I did see, the URL linked in the text was:

    https://archive.ph/o/jXv3A/https://schenklawfirm.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/wan-v-openai-complaint.pdf
and that now seems to have been purged from the archive.today cache, as this page says "No results":
