Preserve redirect with /_/
path prefix (#13)
This adds a straightforward way of preserving Farside's redirecting behavior in the user's browser history. That way if an instance becomes unavailable between the 5 min scans, the user can opt to navigate back one page and be taken to a new instance. This is accomplished using a single line of JS, and could potentially work as the default behavior of Farside (with the current default behavior requiring a path prefix instead). This should be revisited down the road when more people are using this service.

@ -55,6 +55,13 @@ Farside's routing is very minimal, with only the following routes:
|
|||
URL>/r/popular`
|
||||
- Note that a path is not required. `/libreddit` for example will still
|
||||
redirect the user to a working libreddit instance
|
||||
- `/_/:service/*glob`
|
||||
- Achieves the same redirect as the main `/:service/*glob` endpoint, but
|
||||
preserves a short landing page in the browser's history to allow quickly
|
||||
jumping between instances by navigating back.
|
||||
- Ex: `/_/nitter` -> nitter instance A -> (navigate back one page) -> nitter
|
||||
instance B -> ...
|
||||
- *Note: Uses Javascript to preserve the page in history*
|
||||
|
||||
When a service is requested with the `/:service/...` endpoint, Farside requests
|
||||
the list of working instances from Redis and returns a random one from the list
