Notes to make IR shield (made by LinkSprite) work in Raspberry Pi 3 (bought from Amazon [1]). 
The vendor has some documentation [2] but that is not complete and sufficient for Raspbian Stretch. 
Following are the changes that I made to make it work.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install lirc

# Add the following lines to /etc/modules file
lirc_dev
lirc_rpi gpio_in_pin=18 gpio_out_pin=17

function isAnimatedGif(src, cb) {
	var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
	request.open('GET', src, true);
	request.responseType = 'arraybuffer';
	request.addEventListener('load', function () {
		var arr = new Uint8Array(request.response),
			i, len, length = arr.length, frames = 0;
			
		// make sure it's a gif (GIF8)
		if (arr[0] !== 0x47 || arr[1] !== 0x49 ||
