Function GetRawGistFile

pkg/cmd/gist/shared/shared.go:257–279

GetRawGistFile fetches the full content of a gist file from its raw URL. The bytes are external content, so they are returned as iostreams.Untrusted to force callers to choose between sanitized display and raw round-tripping. The rawURL is supplied by the API and points at gist.githubusercontent.com

(httpClient *http.Client, hostname string, rawURL safeurl.SafeURL)

// The rawURL is supplied by the API and points at gist.githubusercontent.com rather than the
// API host, so it is requested as an absolute URL. The hostname only configures the client.
func GetRawGistFile(httpClient *http.Client, hostname string, rawURL safeurl.SafeURL) (iostreams.Untrusted, error) {
	// TODO(api-client-rollout)
	// This line of code is part of a mechanical roll out of the api client.
	// As a follow up, consider whether the api client can be injected to this call site, rather than constructed
	resp, err := api.NewClientFromHTTP(httpClient).Request(hostname, http.MethodGet, rawURL.String(), nil)
	if err != nil {
		return iostreams.Untrusted{}, err
	}

	defer resp.Body.Close()

	if resp.StatusCode != http.StatusOK {
		return iostreams.Untrusted{}, api.UnexpectedStatusError(resp)
	}

	body, err := io.ReadAll(resp.Body)

	if err != nil {
		return iostreams.Untrusted{}, err
	}

	return iostreams.NewUntrustedBytes(body), nil
