In case the author sees this: Thank you for enabling CORS so that it's possible to plot examples from other sites. It would be awesome if the Content-Range header was allowed as well

Here is an example of plotting the first dataset that popped up for me: https://csvplot.com/remote_file.html?url=https://csvbase.com...

Wow that is cool, really cool.

I will look into implementing Content-Range - what is it that you want that for? What's the usecase?

Thank you for csvbase, today is the first time I've seen it.

I believe PapaParse, a JS library for parsing CSV files, uses Content-Range to stream large CSV files in chunks.

https://csvplot.com uses PapaParse under the hood, I saw a warning in the dev console and posted here. I'm not sure why it seemingly works fine anyway.
