Blow URL is the most common used for loading syntaxhighligter scripts into a page:
http://alexgorbatchev.com/pub/sh/current/scripts/
Currently, it redirects to the below location:
http://agorbatchev.typepad.com/pub/sh/VER_XXXX/scripts/
The approach seems naive and primitive for such popular script. The problem is that it does not work for https requests.
Is there any proper CDN available for syntaxhighligter ?
I am looking for somewhere that provides a response for both HTTP and HTTPS without any redirect roundtrip.
It appears to be available as an NPM module: https://www.npmjs.com/package/syntaxhighlighter
This means you could take advantage of unpkg.com like so: https://unpkg.com/syntaxhighlighter@4.0.1
To load specific versions of the library, or a different JavaScript file, see the instructions on the unpkg homepage: https://unpkg.com/
This also of course means you can npm install syntaxhighlighter and use the package as an NPM module...
