Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation is generally cross-platform and browser/JavaScript focused, but there is a subtle Windows bias in the proxy service example, which uses an '.ashx' handler (a Windows/IIS/ASP.NET-specific pattern) for the proxy endpoint. There are no explicit Linux or cross-platform proxy service examples, and the documentation does not mention Linux or non-Windows hosting environments for proxy services.
Recommendations:
- Provide proxy service examples using cross-platform technologies, such as Node.js/Express, Python/Flask, or Nginx, in addition to or instead of the .ashx/IIS example.
- Explicitly mention that the proxy service can be implemented in any backend technology, not just ASP.NET/IIS.
- Add a note or example showing how to set up a simple proxy on Linux-based environments.
- Avoid using file extensions or handler names that are specific to Windows/IIS in generic code snippets.
