Thanks for your help (and I will try your method later).

Any ideas cablepair?


Hi Ciyam.

If bitviewer has also the problem, either you are using the same dns server and it returns old/bad infos, either you both have cached old/bad infos (in your browser, or in the dns cache for bitviewer).
To be sure, i tested the 4 DNS servers and they all reply the ip address of my server (doing the redirect to www.ciyam.com).

So, wait a bit and it should work everywhere (cached data will be updated after a while).

[edit]I made a mistake when testing (if a domain didn't work, it was redirecting request using suffix on my server, which is working), only 2 servers are resolving ciyam.bit (the first ones), so, the problem should com from there. Need to wait i guess.[/edit]

works fine via suffix method

Could you please paste a link into a message here that will work (I have tried using http://bitviewer.net/browse.php?u=http://ciyam.bit or going to the website and typing ciyam.bit but still takes me to FMA). Sad

(btw - I am trying this from China and got it tested from Australia as well with the same result)

well, for me the link works just like that: http://ciyam.bit   (redirect to ciyam.com)
and also for example: http://bx.bit  Cool

I am using this method:
http://dot-bit.org/How_To_Install_Dns_Suffix

with bitviewer.net bx.bit works but ciyam.bit does not - problem with redirection? I guess cablepair will have to investigate this one.

domain registration is said to me a manual process at this time. Once your domain has been registered, you'll receive an email from the admin about how to access your control panel. Or, so I've heard. I'd give it 24-72 hours.

Yup - but I got the email nearly two eight hours ago and can access the control panel fine and it says it is redirecting ciyam.bit to www.ciyam.bit and www.ciyam.bit to www.ciyam.com but still no joy.

But I will test it again tomorrow so hopefully will come good by then.

I registered ciyam.bit yesterday through register.dot-bit.org (and have received a confirmation email) which should redirect to www.ciyam.com but instead it takes me to fma.com. Huh

This is great but please note that if you get your site indexed by Google as a proxy then it won't take very long for it to no longer be accessible from China and other countries that put a lot of effort into blocking sites.


Cheers,

Ian.

thanks I will check it out, I am constantly looking for ways to give my site the edge since the kahl kind of ripped mine off and mine a copy of it after he saw what I was doing

(its ok kahl competition is healthy Tongue )


just realized khal's proxy was a web-proxy, too.

what about a real proxy to use with foxyproxy?

(proxy.masterpool.eu is working at the moment)

tuxavant you got a copy of the code handy? I assume this is done with some kind of combination of php and apache rewrite rules?


I think the simplest way to do this is using a catch-all virtual domain in your apache conf, and then a catch-all rewrite (which could easily be put in the conf too so no need for another file). This would be a directed to a different handler than the normal bitviewer.net (without extra subdomain). Also, the php script would be changed very slightly for how it grabs the target domain.

If you wanted an exception for the www subdomain then it can just be placed higher up in the file.

I think the virtual domain lookup is likely faster than processing a rewrite file (which sometimes can have a bit of a performance hit). I'm not sure if placing the rewrite in the conf maybe helps with speed. Probably not a big concern though.

(I can't help further with specifics as it's been years now since I used Apache. Everything is Nginx for me nowadays, which has different configs/rewrites)

I think I mentioned this somewhere else, but it would also be useful to have direct access to your proxy so that individuals could create their own proxy.pac file that redirects *.bit requests directly to you from their browser.

Perhaps this will be useful?.?.?

http://badpopcorn.com/blog/2006/04/22/coral-cache-and-htaccess/

It's for redirecting refers from big sights to the coral cache but you might be able to use it for your proxy by matching against something other than refer and pointing to your proxy? only gave this two seconds of thought...

How about a coral cache type of interface where you simply prepend the domain you're trying to reach with the bitviewer.net domain..

Example, to reach wikileaks.bit, you would go to wikileaks.bit.bitviewer.net.

If you don't know what coral cache is, check out http://www.reddit.com.nyud.net/

Nice!
I wonder if you could add a rewrite so that,

http://bitview.net/someaddress.bit

would map to your proxy script. This would make it easier to remember and really clean for people to just type in when they need.


this is how the yourls url shortener solves this:
(http://yourls.org   !-f  and !-d rewrite every query not a file or directory)

.htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /yourls-loader.php [L]


php:
$request = str_replace( $base.'/', '', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] );

I've discovered the Glyphe php script with your project and i was searching for a good software for this.
That's also what is used by the opennic project : http://wiki.opennicproject.org/ProxyServers

So, i've added a second web proxy at the address of : http://proxy.dot-bit.org/ :p

this is great. the more as masterpool really is down by now.

once the next foxyproxy version comes out you need to set up a website with the new auto configuration feature (install foxproxy, reload page and click yes --> namecoin support). Setting up the page should be very simple with a template from eric, the foxyproxy developer.

edit: 2012-03-04 masterpool is working

Maybe you are putting in the http://

Yes, I did, when I just wrote 'domain.bit' it works. Great service!
