nbviewer bug? with multi-file gists

[ctb]

If a multi-file gist has a file whose name does NOT end in ipynb, it cannot be viewed by nbviewer.

Compare:

http://nbviewer.ipython.org/3869768/

specifically

http://nbviewer.ipython.org/3869768/solutions-week5-coinflips.ipynb

and

http://nbviewer.ipython.org/3869768/foo

For future references, we have a nbviewer repo where issues can be opened.

Non .ipynb files are send as raw. 'Detecting' that a file is a ipynb file is not obvious, and I don't want to write heuristics to guess wether a file should be rendered as ipynb or not.

By rendering non-.ipynb file as raw, then you can have relative url to them in your ipynb files, and wiew then in nbviewer.

I know that notebook server serves files with a /files prefix and I have to deal with that, but it is not easy, and i miss time.

IMHO, multi gist files are not ment to have multi notebooks, but notebook with other resources. For multiple notebook, please have a look as nbviewer-dev.herokuapp.com

Hi Matthias,

OK -- just wanted to point out that the multi-gist behavior was triggered
by students who didn't know any better, suggesting that it's not obvious
one way or another :)

I don't think it's unreasonable for the gist shortcut to require properly named files.
The raw url approach does not have this restriction, so you can still view it.

I think this can be closed.

[Carreau]

Closing.
