Offline builds of Python documentation in various formats:
- Zipped offline HTML
- Plain text
- Texinfo
- EPUB
I wanted to present a waiting page in place(s) of file(s) that are being generated, that would render similarly to 404 page.
But GitHub Pages don't give control over HTTP headers, i.e. Content-Type header, where I'd like to set
Content-Type: text/html to present a page at the URL that ends with .zip. In practice browser wants to download such page always.
Therefore I'm going to strip this functionality from the project. To improve, we
- either need a different backend than GH Pages (to control Content-Type header)
- or this project would need to generate the entire downloads page.
