Remote distribution? (CORS-enabled Dropbox)

[deathcap]

Currently, ProgrammerArt releases can be downloaded from https://github.com/deathcap/ProgrammerArt/releases for local usage. Would be cool if it could also be used remotely, i.e. online.

For https://github.com/deathcap/voxpopuli I include this repository as a submodule (git checkout recursive for development, and GitHub gh-pages also checks it out for the website). Other uses most likely have to include a local copy (unless they are only doing img src), due to cross-domain restrictions.

Maybe mirror the releases on a server which allows Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, so remote XHR with .crossOrigin = 'anonymous' could be used to load PA.

Attempting to cache through http://coralcdn.org/ by appending .nyud.net, unfortunately it doesn't pass through the CORS headers:

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com.nyud.net/u/258156216/artpacks/ProgrammerArt-2.1-dev-ResourcePack-20140116.zip. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:9966' is therefore not allowed access.

But, using the original Dropbox URL does in fact work remotely (is CORS-enabled). Updated demo URL in deathcap/artpacks@104fae3

Testing using CORS with Dropbox is working well; planning on publishing there too for v2.1.
