gollark: Ah, so the token is some random data...
gollark: If I understand it correctly, it sends some gzipped data to some URL for some reason and gets a base64 response back.
gollark: The TryItOnline frontend.
gollark: The Network pane tells me that it accesses `https://tio.run/cgi-bin/static/b666d85ff48692ae95f24a66f7612256-run/80b0beb0eead937c782d5036d9ec46ca`, but that doesn't explain why it does any of this madness.
gollark: Well, obviously that bit then calls into and uses values from other code.
