Great idea with image proxy! But I get an error for this image:  . Why?

It has no headers or extension

Oh, thanks! Smiley

Thanks theymos.

If I'm accessing Bitcointalk from my workplace, most image Hosters are blocked.

I just realized that I can now see all images, thanks to the proxy.

Much appreciated.

And ssl unless your work already compromised that

Just to point out that the proxy doesn't handle images from blockchain.info.

bitcointalk.org now runs its own image proxy. GIFs will work now, and images will not be cached. However, images that don't load completely after a few seconds will still not work, and invalid URLs in [img] tags are less likely to work than before. Images must not be larger than 1.5 MB. You are only allowed to download so many images via the proxy before you're banned for a while, but no one acting reasonably should run into this. The proxy can't be used except through posts. Old image URLs will expire after a few months.

My thought was that Theymos would not want to do that. But I guess if the code to support the proxy is in there anyway, it's just another minor mod on top.

btcticker.appspot.com / https://github.com/vrotaru/btcticker desperately needs to be whitelisted, and any other price converters without viewer IP tracking. So fucking off, I have to choose between deleting them or hoping nobody holds me to the old cached versions in my topics.

A fix for this can be to make a list of domains that need to avoid cache.

Then, concatenate the date, the hour and the actual minute to the url, this has to change dynamically with php.

That way every minute the request will be diferent forcing the proxy to reload the image.

For example this image:
http://btcticker.appspot.com/mtgox/1.00btc2eur.png

Will turn into:
http://btcticker.appspot.com/mtgox/1.00btc2eur.png?anticache=201312182259

Now, with the proxy:
https://images.weserv.nl/?url=btcticker.appspot.com/mtgox/1.00btc2eur.png%3Fanticache=201312182254&fnr

Note: use %3F to encode ? and %26 to encode &.


The format is YEAR MONTH DAY HOUR MINUTE

This way we have a 60 seconds cache + https in images + not leaking ips to whitelist domains

This method will only be used by domains that need to avoid the cache.

That means you need to update the link every time you need it to update which somewhat defeats the purpose.

Has anyone checked whether the proxy respects the standard cache headers and options?

No, php of bitcointalk does that.
