Aug 11, 2019 at 16:20 comment added Peter Taylor @val, not really. It could have been golfed considerably by self-hosting a page with just the desired content and, if necessary, using a URL shortener. And that's really the point: outsourcing the output gives you arbitrary text at a fixed byte count.

Apr 4, 2018 at 4:58 comment added l4m2 some internet questions may need to do so, but source code itself still not allowed to just be fetched
Jan 19, 2016 at 16:06 comment added Khaled.K @PeterTaylor I see; well if the content that the solution depends on is retrieved from a source that is not part of the platform, then its size has to be added to the size of the answer. I don't see a difference between manually copy-paste or make a wget do the copy-paste.
Jan 19, 2016 at 14:33 comment added Peter Taylor @KhaledAKhunaifer, no, I mean an answer which saves bytes by replacing a large string with a wget or similar that fetches it.
Jan 19, 2016 at 12:01 comment added Khaled.K You mean a copy-paste answer?
Aug 30, 2015 at 21:21 comment added vsz We could allow it, if the size of the external source is added to the size of the answer.
