Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ngosang/trackerslist/issues/323

the content of trackers_all_ws.txt could be in a format something like

trackers_all_ws( {list: [
  "wss://tracker.openwebtorrent.com",
  "wss://tracker.btorrent.xyz",
  "wss://tracker.files.fm:7073/announce",
  "wss://spacetradersapi-chatbox.herokuapp.com:443/announce"
]} )

trackers_all_ws = [
  "wss://tracker.openwebtorrent.com",
  "wss://tracker.btorrent.xyz",
  "wss://tracker.files.fm:7073/announce",
  "wss://spacetradersapi-chatbox.herokuapp.com:443/announce"
]

So one could call it with ajax/jsonp, or embed it as a script file, in a web page.

As far as I know you can request plain/text resources with Ajax and split the response with "\r\n".
I prefer to keep things simple if you don't mind.

You seem to be right, AJAX and CORS policy may allow scraping .txt files. (I don't find any specification, or even a stackoverflow question about it.)

This seem to work, with splitting with "\n\n":

var trackers_all_ws = []

function getTrackers() {
  var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest()
  xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
    if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
      trackers_all_ws = this.responseText.split("\n\n")
      trackers_all_ws.pop()
      console.log( trackers_all_ws )
    }
  };
  xhttp.open("GET", "https://ngosang.github.io/trackerslist/trackers_all_ws.txt", true)
  xhttp.send()
}

getTrackers()

Thank you!
