Parchment Proxy

This is a simple proxy for use with Interactive Fiction web interpreters.

How to use

Examples:

• /proxy/?url=https://ifarchive.org/if-archive/games/springthing/2007/Fate.z8
• /proxy/?url=https://ifarchive.org/if-archive/games/springthing/2007/Fate.z8&callback=processBase64Zcode&encode=base64

Parameters:

• url: required, the URL of the story to access.

  Supported file types are

  • Generic blorbs: .blorb, .blb
  • Glulx: .gblorb, .ulx
  • Hugo: .hex
  • TADS: .gam, .t3
  • Z-Code: .zblorb, .z3, .z4, .z5, .z8
• encode: set encode=base64 to base64 encode the story file

• callback: a callback function for JSONP

  If you're using jQuery and you set the dataType to 'jsonp', it will automatically create the callback function and add this parameter for you. Other libraries may do the same. However, as the parameter jQuery choses for you will be unique, the results won't be cached, and so it's recommended that you manually specify the callback function. See the jQuery docs for more information.

  If you use a callback, also set encode=base64.

Parchment-proxy will send the data with a Content-Type header of text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 and an Access-Control-Allow-Origin header of * for cross-site AJAX requests.
