iPXE docs recommend using pastie, which fails

This suggests using pastie's 'raw' feature, but this is not actually raw.

As an example:

http://pastie.org/pastes/9250779/text

View the source for this page, you'll see it's a HTML document, not raw text.

@devicenull Dang, can you recommend a service that does this and isn't https (since iPXE doesn't support this in a release yet AFAIK)

The "Download" link appears to work (http://pastie.org/pastes/9250779/download). Looks like the docs just need to be tweeked.

we should probably document the PXE support for HTTPS (some flag I think) and go back to using a gist. All of the other services suck.

whoops, didnt read the whole thread and didnt realize this wasn't in a release yet :)

@robszumski I haven't confirmed. Do you want to try out https and see if it works?

HTTPS support in iPXE exists, but it's not compiled in by default (to save space). It also has some limitations: http://ipxe.org/crypto
