The file links lead to rawgit.com pages when they could lead to raw.githubusercontent.com files instead and save some bytes :p

I visited https://cdn.rawgit.com/luochen1990/coffee-mate/v0.11.5/build/global.coffee.js before I push the tag, and got 404 as expected. But after I pushed the tag here, cdn.rawgit.com still returns 404 ...
Is this a bug ? or what can I do for this ?

Hey.. first thanks for this repo. I put this https://cdn.rawgit.com/Jayaramki/display-feed-js/master/js/stackFeedLoader.js link in my blog. If I do edit in my source, It is not updating the source. Is this issue or I missed somewhere else?

hello.
I'm unable to load ajax json request
Request header field Content-Type is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Headers.
http://jsfiddle.net/9dysn070/

could you add this CORS header?

It seems the "source host" is hard-coded:
https://github.com/rgrove/rawgit/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=githubusercontent

If it could be configured, it would ease (internal) deployments for other hosts than "normal" github, for example Github Enterprise.

https://cdn.rawgit.com/rstacruz/flatdoc/v0.9.0/flatdoc.js returns nothing, but https://rawgit.com/rstacruz/flatdoc/v0.9.0/flatdoc.js is ok.

Is there a way to clear cdn cache ?
Or maybe you could disable cache for empty files ?

@rgrove : If you don't have time to handle this, I'll try to make a pull request asap.

I think you should update evil.js, as it hasn't been updated for some time now. I also think you should use evil.css again instead of your current whole document rotating technique which is not exactly very subtle. Also, for your evil.html you should link to evil.css instead of evil.js which doesn't really do much in that situation.

Please add some cache headers to your responses. If you don't want to make this the default, add a query parameter to allow for caching. But most of the time this is what you really want, so I would make caching the default. Besides, this would ameliorate the load on github.

My page should have background music which keep repeating. However, it is only played once.

When I access a private raw file in GitHub, GitHub appends a token to the URL so that one can acess it:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/...?token=...

When I open rawgit URL I get 404. :-(

It seems token is not used/passed on?

I would need this to be able to add SVG images to the README in a private repository.

ETags are passed through from GitHub correctly, but even when a matching If-None-Match request header is sent, Nginx seems to ignore it. Need to tweak the Nginx config.

Would be great if there was a way to force rawgit to refetch a resource!

Seems like raw.github.com times out a lot (or maybe they're just throttling us). It'd be cool if rawgithub kept track of timeouts and errors and used this to generate a raw.github.com "health index" that we could display on the front page.

Investigate caching requested resources briefly (perhaps for 5-10 minutes) to avoid making multiple unnecessary requests to raw.github.com and reduce the impact of upstream timeouts.

Perhaps support a ?nocache query string flag to allow a cache bypass in the event that someone wants to test a file they've just updated.

These URLs provide GitHub sign-in or error pages, rather than the standard rawgithub.com 404. There probably needs to be some more validation on what is a valid URL.

• rawgithub.com/%20/1234/wtf/wtf
• rawgithub.com/%20/7289012/raw/
• rawgithub.com/%20/7289012/raw/wtf.html

Can you just blacklist the spammer and restore the service? Or, possibly, whitelist our file?

Is there an ETA for having the service back online? If not, do you have any ideas for alternate solutions for hosting static content? We're using GH pages for almost everything, but they don't serve HTML as the right mimetype for us so we still have to use RGH for one particular file.

This is what we get for using RGH in production! Can't say you didn't warn us.

For XHTML files the returned content type is text/plain; charset=utf-8 instead of application/xhtml+xml; charset=utf-8.

For example it doesn't work for this file:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/w3c/csswg-test/master/css-multicol-1/multicol-nested-002.xht

However it works using the CDN URL it works as expected (thought it's not convenient for my particular use case as the resources are cached):
https://cdn.rawgit.com/w3c/csswg-test/master/css-multicol-1/multicol-nested-002.xht

Hi,

thanks for this ingenious service! Can you please add support for PDF?
I think its very simple - just add some lines to conf folder, but it will be easier for you.
Correct mime type is application/pdf. Now I recieve redirect to raw.github.com which downloads with application/octet-stream.

Thanks
Pavel

I'm happy to write that patch - just seeing if you'd be interested, as per the README :)

raw.github.com seems to serve the correct content types for images, so there's no need to proxy those. Should investigate other non-text filetypes as well.

This is bad

I wanted to use rawgit for this file: https://github.com/Stuk/jszip/blob/master/dist/jszip.min.js. Clicking on the "Raw" button triggers a download dialog, so I right-clicked > Copy link location. This gave me this URL:

https://github.com/Stuk/jszip/raw/master/dist/jszip.min.js

I assume this is the correct raw URL. Now, when I paste this URL into rawgit, I get this development URL:

https://rawgit.com/Stuk/jszip/raw/master/dist/jszip.min.js

When I try to load this URL in the browser, I get a 404.

Mobile browsers especially benefit from this since the user is not given the option to launch google earth otherwise

When I try to request a JSON-LD file like this:

curl https://rawgit.com/dvh/KentekenAPI/master/context.jsonld -k

I get a HTTP 301 Moved Permanently response redirecting me to the original GitHub raw file URL.
Fetching the original raw file is giving issues with the incorrect Content-Type and Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers, hence why I'm using RawGit in the first place.

Does RawGit only support certain file types (JSON-LD not being among them)?

Just a simple bookmarklet to redirect the current repo/file to rawgit.

The usage is quite simple:
Go to any repo where you like to preview a file, and execute the booklet. If the current url is a file, it should open the file directly, otherwise it will ask for a filename.

I've tested it with the following url-usecases:

• https://github.com/user/repo/
• https://github.com/user/repo/tree/master/folder/
• https://github.com/user/repo/blob/master/file.ext
• https://raw.github.com/user/repo/master/file.ext
• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/user/repo/master/file.ext

Ok, enough for now: https://gist.github.com/yckart/5832645

Any thoughts?

I didn't see an offering for a quick dev link peek. I'm using this...
🔖 javascript:(function(L){L.href=L.href.replace('raw.githubusercontent','rawgit')}(location));

your service is great. but urls like:

https://cdn.rawgit.com/branderxero/44209619ba485e32d7b3/raw/be86b2237efd035b068652b855fc79cef6161cf5/vim-colors.html

are impossible to remember. i'd be wonderful if you offered a shortened url option. e.g.

https://x.rawgit.com/c1v

Hello!

Looks like RawGit is not supporting WOFF2 font. It's served with Content-Type:application/octet-stream instead of application/font-woff2.

However WOFF is served correctly with Content-Type:application/font-woff.

On gist a resource can be retrieved in two ways:
https://gist.github.com/ordiovince/2171446/raw/8318c86b357b6ddbf674ad238b8745d2781cab4b/gistfile1.txt
Test
https://gist.github.com/ordiovince/2171446/raw/gistfile1.txt
Test

On rawgithub only this first url will work

https://rawgithub.com/ordiovince/2171446/raw/8318c86b357b6ddbf674ad238b8745d2781cab4b/gistfile1.txt
Test

https://rawgithub.com/ordiovince/2171446/raw/gistfile1.txt
404 Not Found I dunno what you expected, but it ain't here.

Can we get added support for Bit Bucket?

I like using gist when filing defects for Selenium, so this would be awesome for simplifying my repro scripts!

If you like the idea but don't have time for it, I'll probably take a shot at it.

can you register rawgithubusercontent.com ?

I want share test result in html: https://github.com/Hubbitus/tests/blob/0873d49144278680cd1ce4a6497adafdf6bb4979/bbcp/results/test-rsync-without-z%2Bc.2015-04-21_11:49:02.html

Rawgit generates me https://cdn.rawgit.com/Hubbitus/tests/0873d49144278680cd1ce4a6497adafdf6bb4979/bbcp/results/test-rsync-without-z%252Bc.2015-04-21_11:49:02.html URL which lead to 404 error.

Dev/testing: https://rawgit.com/Hubbitus/tests/0873d49144278680cd1ce4a6497adafdf6bb4979/bbcp/results/test-rsync-without-z%252Bc.2015-04-21_11:49:02.html also fail.

I made a gist private (not cuz I really care, but because I don't want random pollution of my public gists with test case repros) but I can't seem to get it to appear with rawgithub. Am I missing something? (the gist: https://gist.github.com/medwards/8ccbbe698a46ec21e48a )

Try looking at the raw file on github.

Now it look like this

https://raw.githubusercontent.com

time to buy https://rawgithubusercontent.com ?

Fetching a file from github through rawgit running on node version 0.10.28 causes a stream error:

_stream_readable.js:664
    throw new Error('Cannot switch to old mode now.');
          ^
Error: Cannot switch to old mode now.
    at emitDataEvents (_stream_readable.js:664:11)
    at IncomingMessage.Readable.resume (_stream_readable.js:649:3)
    at Object._onImmediate (/opt/nodejs/proxy/rawgit/lib/middleware/proxy-path.js:157:18)
    at processImmediate [as _immediateCallback] (timers.js:309:15)

The streaming API was redesigned for node v.0.10.x [1] and resume() and pause() are not available if the new non-flowing interface is triggered [2]. The error goes away after commenting out incoming.resume(); on line 157 in proxy-path.js:

    // Ensure that the incoming stream is drained once the response is closed.
    // Otherwise we can leak Buffers.
    finished(res, function () {
/*
        incoming.resume();    // causes stream error
*/
    });
}

Is there a side effect of commenting out incoming.resume()?

Resource interpreted as Script but transferred with MIME type application/octet-stream: "https://rawgithub.com/niktrix/profile-life/master/socket.io.js/". mtgox:1
Refused to execute script from 'https://rawgithub.com/niktrix/profile-life/master/socket.io.js/' because its MIME type ('application/octet-stream') is not executable, and strict MIME type checking is enabled.

I am running my own copy of RawGit and it's great!

The issue I have is that it still says "rawgit.com" everywhere, and that confuses my users. I know that I can just change it everywhere, but that means I'd have to change it again every time that I pull upstream changes.

I think that the solution is to be able to set variables with the names of the domain and the CDN, to make this easier for myself and others like me.

I can do this in a pull request, but I wanted to hear what you think before I put in the time.

Currently when you open a symbolic link in rawgithub its path is displayed (example).

A 307 redirection would be much nicer.

Currently looks like OPTIONS requests are returning 404, instead of allowed access origin etc. headers.

OPTIONS https://rawgit.com/elhigu/opencl-testsuite/master/resultdb/test_results.json 404 (Not Found)

Would be nice if this would work too.

Take a look at https://rawgithub.com/chintanparikh/startup-exchange-web/master/index.html

The "Live for an Idea" should look like:

http://cl.ly/image/2A1W1N3F2T3c

Files within submodules return 404:
https://rawgithub.com/cben/CodeMirror-MathJax/7bfeedfe99d72b44621ba0851e4c5f4e51452565/CodeMirror/lib/codemirror.css
which is unrurprising because raw.github.com also returns 404:
https://raw.github.com/cben/CodeMirror-MathJax/7bfeedfe99d72b44621ba0851e4c5f4e51452565/CodeMirror/lib/codemirror.css
(here CodeMirror/ dir is a submodule)

But they do work on Github Pages (only one level deep), and rawgithub is handy even for Pages-hosted projects to send sombody a demo from a specific version/branch, so it'd be nice if it followed submodules.

1. You could use the API similarly to #16 to check if any parent dir is a submodule.
2. A more efficient solution is just to parse the .gitmodules file e.g.
   https://raw.github.com/cben/CodeMirror-MathJax/7bfeedfe99d72b44621ba0851e4c5f4e51452565/.gitmodules

P.S. Many thanks for creating and running this service 👍 !

Is there a way to force cdn.rawgit.com to refresh master?

Hi,
Is it possible to link to a file from a private repository trough rawGit? I tested it and included the .../filename.js?token=XXX in the link, but it does not seem to work.

Hi, I tried to convert https://github.com/Vdragon/Vdragon_s_License_Templates/blob/217eea4d6e13a5f72eddf1f1a3b22dbdee9e9639/Creative%20Commons/CC%20BY-SA/Resources/Creative%20Commons%20CC-BY-SA%20logo.svg to *rawgit.com URLs but found all %20s been coverted to %2520s and wrong URLs generated.

Hi,

Since all rawgit.com can only be used by github all we need to do is file an issue under a bot account or send an email.

When viewing the site with Chrome on Windows 7, the font you use looks really weird. I guess it's a scaling/anti-aliasing issue.

With Chrome on OS X Mountain Lion it looks a lot better but still not perfect.

Thx for your great job. I really want to use cdn.rawgit.com which is faster than rawgit.com and saves money for you. but it prevent me to use cdn.rawgit.com that there is no way to flash the old content.

so, is there any way to do this?

Will it be a solution that when rawgit.com/a/b/c is visited, cdn.rawgit.com/a/b/c will be updated ?
