First of all thanks for using nopaste and submitting this bugreport.
Apologies that you did not get a reply earlier.

I have looked at your request. I think something like the attached
patch would do it. *But*, I'm unsure it is a good idea.

On one side we would need to refresh/update always Nopaste.pm if there
is achange and keep our patch in sync. This is not a big deal if the
attached works.

But the second is that this affects e.g. Ubuntu as downstream. They
will now then also be forced to use paste.debian.net unless too
patched.

Are there opinion from others from the Debian Perl Group on this?

Regards,
Salvatore
