ComputerCraft Pastebin Patch
ComputerCraft patch for Pastebin
This fixes Pastebin on legacy versions of ComputerCraft.
This resource pack has been confirmed to work on Tekkit main.
The problem
When executing `pastebin get` or `pastebin put`, the program tries to access `http://pastebin.com`. This fails due to the `http` part, because Pastebin no longer serves content over HTTP (which is a good thing from a security standpoint, but it's bad in this particular context).
The solution
The fix is really simple: Replace `http` with `https`. This restores standard functionality.
Credits and licensing
Two people have made videos and tutorials explaining the problem and showing how to fix it by modifying ComputerCraft directly:
This is a "trivial change," so this goes under the ComputerCraft Public License, the same license as ComputerCraft.
