iconproxy

Documentation

Overview

Package iconproxy names where magpie downloads a remote picture from. A plugin's, an import link's or the library's icon sits on a host its author picked, and fetching it straight from there would hand that author the user's IP each time a page showed it. Every such fetch goes through usemagpie.ai's /api/icon instead (site/worker.js), which asks the host itself and passes on only an image; the host sees Cloudflare's address.

Constants

const Base = "https://usemagpie.ai/api/icon"

Base is the proxy's endpoint. MAGPIE_ICON_PROXY replaces it, for tests.

Functions

func URL

func URL(u string) string

URL is the address to fetch the picture at u through. One on usemagpie.ai already is asked for as it is: the worker needn't fetch its own site.
