Can't create a rule to prepend to a URL

[salfter]

It looks like prepending something to a URL causes the plugin to get stuck in a loop. Splitting the rule into two separate rules for HTTP and HTTPS doesn't help, either. It looks like what's needed is a way to have a rule work only against the entire URL instead of a substring. Perhaps a "^" operator (as with sed) to mark the beginning would work.

Consider this example:

*://**.4chan.org/*** rewritten to https://archive.is/*://**.4chan.org/***

If I click a link (such as http://boards.4chan.org/pol/thread/160062891/creamy-memes-for-our-team), it gets redirected to https://archive.is/http://boards.4chan.org/pol/thread/160062891/creamy-memes-for-our-team, as I want. When I then click the "archive this URL" link (https://archive.is/?url=http://boards.4chan.org/pol/thread/160062891/creamy-memes-for-our-team), though, it then gets redirected to https://archive.is/https://archive.is/?url=http://boards.4chan.org/pol/thread/160062891/creamy-memes-for-our-team, which isn't where we want to go.

Make a rule above that one that looks like: https://archive.is/* --> https://archive.is/* This rule doesn't redirect anywhere, but it will stop the rules below from executing.

Tried it out...looks like that does the trick. My first attempt at then archiving a page failed (since the fetches are done client-side), but temporarily disabling the plugin allows archiving to proceed as it should.
