Previously we had to do a weird dance to get the target url of a package by extracting that url from a meta-tag as explained here. This doesn't work anymore since https://k8s.io/<package> got replaced by https://pkg.go.dev/<package>. Now pkg.go.dev seems to host all standard and external packages. This allows use to use pkg.go.dev as a single source. Unfortunately they don't have a REST API golang/go#36785 so we have to scrape the data from their website.

Using a regex to scrape data off a website isn't ideal, but adding https://github.com/jsdom/jsdom doesn't help either if the classname changes. Ideally pkg.go.dev should expose a REST API, but this is not the case golang/go#36785 (yet?)

Without this check, import "context" would resolve to https://cs.opensource.google/go/go, but the actual https://pkg.go.dev/context might be more interesting in this case

Once this is live, we should be able to get rid off https://github.com/OctoLinker/OctoLinker/blob/343ff1e350d8c446ae3f152c747f9cf2b42331b9/packages/plugin-go/index.js#L52-L53 and use to go resolver all the time given that this page is hosting all packages

Hey saw this by chance from the referenced issue. You can still get the vanity url resolver (if that's what you're after). If a package "name" starts with github.com, you're good to go. If it's anything else, you load the url with curl, and look for the go-import meta tag. Hope that helps
