github.io proxy

Could you add a simple wrapper where it accepts a github.io link and converts it to its raw.githubusercontent.com format to be fed into your normal parser? The reason is that there are some shady github.io links I'd like to visit w/o my ISP noticing its FQDN :) Thanks!

I was kinda enthusiastic about trying to implement this, but then I realized it's not guaranteed to always work. GHP is a static hosting platform where the repo directory-tree structure doesn't have to match the generated URLs. This is because GH recently added support for arbitrary ("non-Jekyll") build actions/workflows that run before deployment. Sure, it'll work in ~90% (citation needed) of cases, but some files could be renamed, moved, completely missing, etc...
