javascript - Including js from raw.github.com

Question

I have a github.com demo page that is linking to https://raw.github.com/.../master/.../file.js so that I don't need to always copy the .js file over to the gh-pages branch every time it's changed. This works in every browser except IE which complains:

SEC7112: Script from https://raw.github.com/cwolves/jQuery-iMask/master/dist/jquery-imask-min.js was blocked due to mime type mismatch

This complaint is coming from the fact that the file is transferred with:

X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
Content-Type: text/plain

which I can't change.

Anyone have any ideas how to accomplish this same thing? Somehow allowing me to link to the file in the master branch without having to always push it to the gh-pages branch?

Actual page: http://cwolves.github.com/jQuery-iMask/

(Minor update -- I changed the gh-pages in this exact instance to include the .js file, so IE is no longer broken, but would still like any feedback :))

Answer 1

You can try using https://rawgit.com/ service. Just replace raw.github.com with rawgit.com

UPDATE

The Rawgit service (former Rawgithub) has been shutdown.

RawGit has reached the end of its useful life October 8, 2018

GitHub repositories that served content through RawGit within the last month will continue to be served until at least October of 2019. URLs for other repositories are no longer being served.

If you're currently using RawGit, please stop using it as soon as you can.
