curl a fluffly link should give you the raw content (no html) #62

That would be neat!

Agreed, would definitely be cool. I'm not sure if there's an easy way to implement it right now though. The way the storage backends work is that fluffy hands them files (the rendered HTML as well as the raw text), and then the backends (e.g. S3) serve requests themselves.

There's not actually a server component involved when serving uploaded files. E.g. the HTML you see at https://i.fluffy.cc/D9rfD13wBLl5JHcjKH1HbtDGRZH0Wrkj.html is actually the S3 object s3://fluffy.cc/D9rfD13wBLl5JHcjKH1HbtDGRZH0Wrkj.html.

I don't think there's a way to get S3 to serve a different file based on the user agent, so this would probably mean a pretty big refactor to fluffy's architecture. A refactor would help with some features (like this) but also have some downsides we'd have to balance.

Definitely worth considering, I'll leave this ticket around although it's probably a long-term thing.
