What did you expect to see?

The documentation should no longer rely on RawGit: that project reached end-of-life status as far back as 2018 and its domain name may lapse at any moment.

An alternative that other packages of the standard library rely on: the Wayback Machine.

Thanks for reporting.

CC @golang/security. Which alternative link would you prefer to use?

[rolandshoemaker]

Using the wayback machine link seems like a reasonable solution.

@mikesamuel Is there an updated link that isn't on rawgit.com which is end of life? Thanks.
