e.g. http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=1199471;displaytype=xml

How much "rawer" do you need it? :)

LanX:

Thanks, I just gave that a try, and it worked nicely for a non-reaped node. That'll give me what I'm looking for, 95% of the time.

However, I can't seem to make it work for a reaped node. I tried:

http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=1199455;displaytype=xml

But in return I got:

<node id="1199455" title="Reaped: Re: .pl to .exe" created="2017-09-15
+ 09:28:14" updated="2017-09-15 09:28:14">
<type id="11">note</type>
<author id="52855">NodeReaper</author>
<data>
<field name="doctext">

So I tried changing it to:

http://perlmonks.org/?op=viewreaped;node_id=1199455;displaytype=xml

And got:

<node id="53641" title="Visit Reaped Nodes" created="2001-01-23 00:08:

Edit: on re-reading your reply, I looked for and found the XML link you mentioned. I hadn't noticed it. Unfortunately, it also fails on a reaped node.

I think this is intentionally so (or simply nobody cared to provide this xml interface here)

Reaped nodes are meant to become invisible to discourage spammers.

And I'm not sure if really all input text is passed thru, since this might lead to a vulnerability for the viewer.

Anyway I once was capable to download all reaped nodes in order to train a spam filter, but I can't recall how I did it.

Probably I only got it in the HTML form.

EDIT

Actually I see an xml-displaytype link in the original text of reaped nodes, but only in my role as pm-dev.

And it doesn't show the raw text but the perl-code producing this node.

In other words this "show original and vote tally" node with op=viewreaped; belongs a totally different class of nodes.

you need logged in (and correct link)

or you can use corion's backup

When i want to do that i just use the "view page source" option in my browser. If that is still too much you may want to try adding displaytype=print ie http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1199455&displaytype=print and then "view page source"

Actually your approach is better to see whitespaces and linebreaks directly inside the browser, since the XML view in FF doesn't show it.

FWIW here a nodelet hack which opens a JS.alert() with the HTML of the post you are trying to reply to.

<script><!--
function show_quote() {
alert(document.querySelector("div.preview").innerHTML.match(/^[^]*?(?=
+<hr> <div class="editnodetext">)/)[0]);
}
--></script>

<a href='javascript:show_quote()'> show_quote</a>

(you need to be in a "comment on" node to make it work)

it was part of my plans to extend my wiki-syntax with comfortable quoting of a users post...

... of course milking the XML-displaytype would be more reasonable here.

Sorry for nitpicking ...

... it's very close but that's not the raw input of the poster.

For instance [links] are expanded and code tags have an extra download link.

huck:

Thanks, but that still has the HTML entities encoding and bracket ([ ]) munging.

How raw can we get?

lynx -dump http://perlmonks.org > dump.txt

Lynx?
