For what it's worth, changing the extension doesn't seem to work for me. A simple C program (http://hastebin.com/36QWBlYlML) gets detected as TeX. Trying to change the http://hastebin.com/36QWBlYlML.tex to http://hastebin.com/36QWBlYlML.c just redirects me back to the .tex URL.

Also, while I am entering a file, the edit box is only two lines long, and I can't see the handle to resize it. This is Safari 5.1.1 on Snow Leopard.

Looks nice!

Also, clicking on the .c link breaks the back button, because it redirects to the .tex link before I can click back again.

Heya - just didn't have the .c extension in the mapping. Will add it in tonight and get it out. Thanks!

While you're at it, changing the extension seems to break the back button in Chrome and Safari on OSX.

I haven't tried reproducing this, but it sounds like he's setting redirects based on GETs. A bad idea all-around, and not only for breaking the back button in this case.
