Direct link to raw text?

[dietmarw]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to link directly to the raw text version. And if not would it be hard to implement?

Thanks,
Dietmar

If by “raw text version” you mean something that can be grabbed directly using curl (like on other pastebins), is would be impossible due to the use of client-side crypto.

I see that problem. However it would still be nice to have a link to a paste that would then display not the standard view but the one one would get when manually pressing the "Raw text" link. E.g.,
http://sebsauvage.net/paste/?2715a090d99d11d6#Q+g7XP0PW+jso6Ww+Den5ch3VGJ+NPJ0MTqwq9P5S7g=&raw
should open up http://sebsauvage.net/paste/?2715a090d99d11d6#Q+g7XP0PW+jso6Ww+Den5ch3VGJ+NPJ0MTqwq9P5S7g= but then directly jump to the raw text version.
Would this be possible?

It should be possible, but perhaps you should explain your use-case.

I think it's possible to hack something together, either by creatively combining curl/wget, some sed-like tool and openssl (for decryption), or by using a small NodeJS, Python or similar script (which decrypts using the scripting language crypto).

I don't like the first option, but in the long term it might be nice to have an automatable fetch script.

There is already a CLI client for ZeroBin : https://github.com/ziirish/zerocli.

My usage case is simple. I would like to be able to share a link that ends up in a "clean" page with just containing the raw text and non of the rest of the interface.
Example: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=G6xBdZmQ

@dietmarw I assume you don't want client-side JS to be included in the page. The problem is, this entirely bypasses the security feature (= the one feature that makes it different) of ZeroBin. Technically it is possible but I do believe you should not use ZeroBin if that's your usecase. Wikipedia has a list of OSS pastebins.

If you're OK with client-side javascript code being used however, you should have a look at my CSS style pull request. This allows you to use a ZeroBin theme that does contain nothing but the text itself (the specific pull request only allows CSS styling, one could add a config option for alternative templates, however).

@ulikoehler Actually I would not mind the client side JS as. So I'll look at you CSS style pull request. So for my user case a appended &raw might simply just point to a plainer version of the normal page.

Or you can redirect user to data url.
