JPLSpec is even more down

[keflavich]

This is a harder workaround for jplspec being down: it switches to using the wayback machine instead of jpl's server, which has gone totally unresponsive.

This raises bigger questions about data preservation/curation. Can't answer those here, but here's a 🩹 .

This needs a changelog. And maybe separating out into two PRs, one for the backup url (I expect that to get merged quickly); and the other for the new kwarg (if it needs more work)?

[keflavich]

The backup doesn't do anything without the new kwarg, so these should go together. I will fix the failures tonight - this was an emergency patch with my student, since she needs access now.

jplspec seems to be back right now, do you still want to go ahead with the wayback machine addition?

[bsipocz]

outside of scope here, but these methods should have proper docstrings

[keflavich]

are you sure it's back? If you run a query, you probably get Zero lines were found for your search criteria. for all inputs

All tests pass locally on main, and https://spec.jpl.nasa.gov/ftp/pub/catalog also works? (Testing from home network and not from within caltech)

[keflavich]

Huh, you're right. I'll dig a little more, maybe I can default the fallback to 'off'.
