Subject: [PATCH fb v1 3/3] fb: web: Replace Facebook onion asset endpoint with non-onion
Date: Sat, 13 May 2023 01:44:11 +0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)

... for faster response time.
Avoid HTTP request to Facebook onion if possible because using Tor
network is slow. When using Facebook onion, the CDN asset URL looks like
this:
https://scontent.xx.facebookcooa4ldbat4g7iacswl3p2zrf5nuylvnhxn6kqolvojixwid.onion/something
we can simply replace the domain with scontent.xx.fbcdn.net to get the
same asset:
https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/something
Side note: We don't fully understand how Facebook actually manages their
CDN. We may introduce a subtle issue by doing it this way. But we hope
we don't.
