Direct link to raw text? about zerobin HOT 9 OPEN

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.
