as you can see the HTTP API thing is a bit of a mess but the most common format is`https://<host>/<path/to/repo>/raw/<ref>/<path/to/file>`
```typescript
/** most servers will produce a CORS error so a proxy should be used */
export const cloneArrayToReadMeUrls = (clone: string[]): string[] => {
const addresses = clone.map(extractRepoAddress)
/**
* at the time of this commit these urls work for:
* self-hosted gitea (or forgejo), gitlab
* github.com
* bitbucket.org
* gitlab.org
* gitea.com
* codeberg.org (forgejo instance)
* sourcehut (git.sr.ht)
* launchpad.net
* It doesnt work for:
* self-hosted gogs (requires branch name repo/raw/master/README.md)
* sourceforge.net (
* notabug.org (requires branch name notabug.org/org/repo/raw/master/README.md)
*/
return [
...addresses.flatMap((address) => {
let prefix = 'raw/HEAD'
if (address.includes('sr.ht')) prefix = 'blob/HEAD'
if (
address.includes('git.launchpad.net') ||
address.includes('git.savannah.gnu.org')
)
prefix = 'plain'
if (address.includes('github.com')) {
// raw.githubusercontent.com can be used without CORS error
address = address.replace('github.com', 'raw.githubusercontent.com')
prefix = 'HEAD'
}
return ['README.md', 'readme.md'].map(
(filename) => `https://${address}/${prefix}/${filename}`
)
}),
]
}
```
