This link already has too much love. Here is the google cache link:

Add a cache:// in front of the URL, e.g.:

cache://codeclimber.net.nz/archive/2016/10/28/MacBookPro-vs-Surface-Book.aspx

Wow, had no idea. How did Google score that protocol?

I assume it is built into Chrome and is just a redirect.

Because they also control the browser, only works in chrome

It works for me in Safari macOS Sierra

It works in Firefox too, but I guess that's because I have Google set to my default search engine. Good trick.

It's a Google Search feature [0]. Add "cache:" in front of the URL you search on Google to try and view the cached version.

Since most browsers nowadays implement an "omnibar" with Google as the default search provider, it appears seamless and performs the redirect.

Wow, nice. Chrome only, I assume.

Works for me in Safari macOS Sierra. But the default search provider for the address bar is Google.

Does that refer to the HTTP version or the HTTPS version?

TL;DR: Chrome is taking a leaf out of PHP's silently-and-confusingly-make-it-work book, and stripping the "//" in "cache://".

Nah the problem is the underlying platform. I see a lot of these around

"Server Error in '/' Application.

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.6421; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.6427 "

LOLOL

Has literally nothing to do with the underlying platform. That's not how web development works.

From here http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=267637 it's just that his tier in Azure is not dimensioned for such load, and Azure blocked it

Yeah, and that Subtext blog service he's using doesn't handle the error very well (and looks like the whole thing is in debug mode).
