As with any website, the HTML provides a guide to the location (URI) of resources some httpd is serving. Generally, I am not after Javascript, CSS, or other non-substantive "resources". I only want the HTML or JSON and any susbstantive resources pointed to therein

I use the Github website as I would any software mirror/repository

I'm not interested in images (mascots or other garbage) or executing code (gratuitous Javascript) when using the Github website, I'm interested in reading and downloading source code
