The link says
> nothing is sent to–or stored on–this server
but isn't it the case that the entire page is sent to bitty.site as part of the HTTP request?
- emp_ 8y agoThe location.hash (#About...) is not sent to the server, which is where the content is rendered from.
- sirsuki 8y agoNo, the page content is never sent to the server. all the server does is serve a static HTML page with some javascript. The javascript reads the compressed encoded data in the URL (the fragment which browsers never send to the server during a request) and then it decodes the data and writes the data to the current DOM. All content data is stored in the link itself and never seen by the itty.bitty server.
- brod 8y agomost http clients (browsers included) will omit url data after the # character, eg: `https://itty.bitty.site/#About/XQAAAAKrCQAAA...` https://itty.bitty.site/#About/XQAAAAKrCQAAA...` only sends `https://itty.bitty.site/` https://itty.bitty.site/` to the server.
