Serve the issue template outside of GitHub

[mihneadb]

GitHub made some changes in the way they serve content from raw.github... and this makes Chrome forbid loading of the template data.

A possible way for solving this would be to serve the issue template from a server (so not from GitHub).

• the server would need to allow CORS (guides here)
• we'd like a magic workflow of keeping things in sync, so that would require a github hook that triggers an update on the server

-- I didn't use the issue template because it was not working :P.

Couldn't we just use CORS as a proxy and serve the file directly from rawgithub.com? (e.g. https://rawgit.com/skidding/github-issue-template/master/template.md)

Oh right, that's even better!

It looks like we only need to run https://pypi.python.org/pypi/corsa/0.1.2 on a server and change the github extension to get the md from SERVER/proxy/https://rawgit.com/skidding/github-issue-template/master/template.md.

Testing it locally now. Need

corsa --allow-proxy http://rawgit.com --allow-origin ALL

Ok, it's working. We get a warning that we are proxying through http and not https, but.. that's a different problem.
