Question

Body

The instructions say that if the file size is between 1mb and 100mb - I won't get anything in contents, so I should get a RAW file. But for some reason you blocked CORS. It feels like you are not aware that you have a lock.

Between 1-100 MB: Only the raw or object custom media types are supported. Both will work as normal, except that when using the object media type, the content field will be an empty string and the encoding field will be "none". To get the contents of these larger files, use the raw media type.

async function req(method,url,data = false) {
  const options = {
    method: method,
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',      
    },
    body: data ? JSON.stringify(data) : undefined,
  };
  return fetch(url, options)
    .then(response => {
      if (response.status === 200 || response.status === 201) {
        return response.json();
      } else 
      if (response.status === 404) {
        return response.status;
      } else {
        throw response.status;
      }
    })
    .catch(error => {
      throw error;
    });
}


req("GET","https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spacemeowx2/100mb/master/100mb.bin")
    .then(data => {
    console.log(data)
  }).catch(error => {
    console.log("Error:" + error );
  })
// Access to fetch at 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spacemeowx2/100mb/master/100mb.bin'
// from origin 'https://accountnujen.github.io' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight
// request doesn't pass access control check: It does not have HTTP ok status.

I solved this problem by 2 queries.
req("GET", "https://api.github.com/repos/spacemeowx2/100mb/contents/100mb.bin");
Then in the resulting array there is a key "git_url". By reqing this key (in this case the value is equal to https://api.github.com/repos/spacemeowx2/100mb/git/blobs/2ecda965e50fd1136e87be63df04d035022a2206) we get another array with the key "content", which will contain our data. It is important that the data is encoded in base64 format.
