This user.js provide 'HEAD' links. It's takes shrinked permanent raw link and shrinked named raw link when you browse Gist files.

HEAD

True Permalink: This is absolutery permanent link but it's always filetype: txt.

https://raw.github.com/gist/2370972/

HEAD(named)

Almost Permalink: This is almost permanent link. It's strict filetype by extension. This link broken when filename changed.

https://raw.github.com/gist/2370972/gist-raw-perm-HEAD.user.js

This link most useful for install user.js from Gist.

Known Ploblems

Multifiles Gist

HEAD can accessible 1st file only. That is Gist API constraining.

• ex. https://gist.github.com/2370972

Gist API

Multifiles Gist has ploblem. Gist API not provide true permlink(bee called HEAD) for 2nd or more files.

Gist API v1(deprecated)

Very simple.

• https://gist.github.com/api/v1/json/2370972

Gist API v3

Include content and history. It's too long too much.

• https://api.github.com/gists/2370972

Jot

Gist raw HTTP

cf. https://gist.github.com/2370972

• GET 'raw' return HTTP 302

• HTTP 200 OK

Hey, @noromanba, I've updated the script to work on the current GitHub markup. Look at https://gist.github.com/denilsonsa/f2e5b9ee53e633e20165 and please update your version. :)

FYI, it was broken again, and I've fixed it again: https://gist.github.com/denilsonsa/f2e5b9ee53e633e20165
