How does it handle 404 errors?

To improve efficiency, the skill caches 404 'Not Found' responses for one hour, preventing repeated attempts to reach broken links.

How does the skill handle intermittent server errors?

It uses an exponential backoff strategy for 5xx errors, retrying up to three times with increasing delays (1s, 2s, 4s) before reporting a failure.

What is the maximum file size this skill can fetch?

The default size limit is 10MB, though this is configurable within the handler settings to prevent excessive memory usage.

Does this skill support protocols like file:// or ftp://?

No, for security reasons the skill only allows http:// and https:// protocols to prevent unauthorized access to local files or arbitrary execution.

Fetches and processes external documentation from web URLs with built-in safety checks and metadata extraction.

关于

The HTTP Documentation Fetcher is a specialized handler for the Codex plugin that enables Claude to securely retrieve content from external web sources. It implements a multi-source architecture to fetch documentation via HTTP and HTTPS while enforcing strict security rules, including protocol validation, size limits, and sanitization. By automatically parsing YAML frontmatter and extracting technical metadata like MIME types and ETags, it prepares web-based content for caching and use within development workflows, featuring robust exponential backoff for server errors and smart handling of redirects.

主要功能

Strict protocol validation for secure HTTP/HTTPS fetching
Configurable content size limits and 30-second timeout handling
Smart retry logic with exponential backoff for 5xx server errors
2 GitHub stars
Automatic YAML frontmatter and technical metadata extraction
Safe redirect management with support for up to 5 hops

使用场景

Fetching Markdown-based technical specifications from remote repositories
Synchronizing web-hosted documentation for local project knowledge bases
Retrieving external API documentation and library guides into the AI context
