[Slogger] Trouble With Variable "$url"

[mook at themook.net]

Unfortunately I'm not sure this is workaround-able...I put in the 
code you posted, hit "OK", hit the Slogger Button 1 (which is set 
to run this profile) ... and nothing saved.

I went back to the profile, checked the 'Custom Script' tab, and 
as you said the code had removed the doubleslashes - so I 
recopied and repasted your code, and added an 'alert(a);' line so 
I could test the code.  When I clicked 'Test' the alert box 
appeared, AND the URL looked perfect - no "?", no ":", and no 
"/".  

So, it seems to work when testing from the Custom Scripts tab - 
but when actually archiving a page, it still doesn't fire, no joy.
