[bug] copying raw pastes lead to double blank lines

describe the bug
when navigating to the raw dump of a paste (https://paste.myst.rs/raw/*/*), the provided result is given with header text/html and when copied, every line is separated by an additional blank line that shouldn't exist in the actual text.

to reproduce
steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. view a paste
  2. click "raw"
  3. copy the text
  4. paste in notepad or any text editor to view it

expected behavior
copying the text should omit blank lines. ideally, when viewing the raw of a paste, the server should respond with content-type text/plain, and just dump the contents of the paste as it is in plain text.

device and browser:
(though this is irrelevant)

  • os: windows
  • browser: firefox
  • browser version: 116.0.1

additional context
n/a

hmm, i can't seem to reproduce this behaviour, both on chrome and firefox copying the raw contents works as expected.

doesn't matter that the result is text/html since the code is wrapped in a pre block.

I recorded a clip to show the behaviour: https://streamable.com/ku0u5k

I believe this may be because the paste in question uses crlf not lf terminator because I pasted from Windows. If I view source of the raw dump, it starts out:

<code><pre>using System.Text;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;const string stringToConvert = "🜊";&#13;&#10;ReadOnlySpan

So I think &#13;&#10; is being treated as "two new lines". I guess a workaround to this if you don't want to send as text/plain would be to just replace crlf with lf when dumping raw

Ahh that could be it. Since I convert all line endings to unix ones.
