Solve CORS issue #113

Open pchampin opened 4 months ago

pchampin commented 4 months ago

The button to fetch IRC logs does not work for me. It seems that the cors-anywhere service is now restricted.

I see two options to solve this problem

The 2nd option would, IMO, be more robust, as it would not rely on a 3rd party service...

Ouch. I always hated CORS...

I see two options to solve this problem

  • replace cors-anywhere with another CORS proxy service -- I have used https://corsproxy.io/ in the recent past
  • publish BrowserView on w3.org, so that it would not need a CORS proxy at all to load the IRC logs

The 2nd option would, IMO, be more robust, as it would not rely on a 3rd party service...

Indeed. But, unless we put it on /People/Ivan or /People/PA (if that exists) such a page would suggest it is part of the 'core' services at W3C. Many years ago, I had some discussion with people on the systeam to add scribejs as an 'official' w3c service, but that never went anywhere...

(Actually, I never use the BrowserView service...)
