Can we identify requests from CI servers reliably?

• IshKebab 1y ago
  You can identify requests from Github's free CI reliably which probably covers 99% of requests. For example GMP blocked GitHub: https://www.theregister.com/2023/06/28/microsofts_github_gmp_project/ https://www.theregister.com/2023/06/28/microsofts_github_gmp... This "emergency measure" is still in place, but there are mirrors available so it doesn't actually matter too much.

    I try to stick to GitHub for GitHub CI downloads. E.g. my SQLite project downloads code from the GitHub mirror rather than Fossil.

  Sure, have a js script involved in generating a temporary download url. That way someone manually downloading the file is not impacted, but if you try to put the url in a script it won’t work.

    There is really no reason to add a JS dependency for this - whatever server-side component expires old URLs can just as well update the download page with the new one.
