Phew! After long awaited anticipation, I’ve built in a draft version of automated webmentions into my site, so now when I like and reply things from my Social Reader my site will send out a webmention immediately. No more 1-2 delays in my replies 😁🎉

go-camo was indeed originally intended to proxy only images, for two reasons: 1) the camo project it was inspired by only proxied images 2) my use-case at the time only required proxying of images
Later, a fork was created by a user to additionally proxy fonts and css. I wasn't comfortable including those in go-camo -- see discussion on https://github.com/cactus/go-camo/issues/20.
In my experience, video files are "usually" either linked (by url, no content warning), uploaded (service hosts it, so no content warning), or inlined from some hosting service (eg. youtube, vimeo; ssl provided by service). Video files are also generally much larger than image content.
Can you further describe your use-case/requirements for proxying video?
Ah, I can see why css/js could be an issue for some uses.
I'm using this on the server side of my new social reader application so that all image/video URLs presented to the reader apps are https and from the same origin. The videos come from either Instagram, Twitter, or peoples' own blogs hosting video files directly. Because the majority of the content is twitter-like short posts, the video files are normally always under a minute long so they aren't actually that big.

Looking at this again, I'm not sure what a good spot for a general note would be.
If you ok it I'd prepare a pull request adding the header to the examples?
At the very least adding the Accept header to the examples is a good place to start, go for it!
At the end of the day federated social software is only kinda good at content consumption and does almost nothing for content production and people like using computers more to make things than they do consuming of things
feel like we should really have a focus on making things and again and making that as seamless and easy as possible

@aaronpk certainly not crying about a Facebook service shitting down. Just checked out your service, which looks cool, though I’d rather it be HTTPS. I really love Gyroscope, which has a great service for location as well. Web, iOS and Android. You should talk to them.
