URL for a post's raw content for a particular revision

I don’t know if this is possible or not, but I would like to access the raw content (markdown) of a post’s old revision by URL.

I’ve tried the URL described in How to get a previous version/revision of a post through the API, but I just get {"status":500,"error":"Internal Server Error"} errors (example). Also, that topic makes it seem like it didn’t give the whole post as of that revision, but only the changes from the previous revision.

I can of course just see the old revision in the actual forum using the post’s history dialog, but you can’t simply copy it because it interleaves the left and right posts.

Actually the most recent one works (https://intfiction.org/posts/25530/revisions/266.json) so maybe it’s just the old ones that won’t work?

And it doesn’t have the raw, so my main question is still unanswered.

In case you haven’t figured this out for yourself yet, below is a way to get the raw post content of the latest revision. I don’t know how to get the raw of an earlier revision but would like to find out!
