A naive way of diffing 2 files on seperate servers

remote_diff.sh

#!/bin/bash

path1=`echo $1 | awk -F, '{print $1}'`/$2
path2=`echo $1 | awk -F, '{print $2}'`/$2

if `curl -Ss $path1 | file - | grep text`; then
	diff <(curl -Ss $path1) <(curl -Ss $path2)
else
	diff <(curl -Ss $path1 | md5) <(curl -Ss $path2 | md5)
