Jeeze, it's happened again. I mention the http proxy to an EX-Eu programmer, and he stops talking to me. Is someone paying you people to NOT help me with this?? What can i offer to convince you i want this thing? Or are you convinced i want it, and are just sitting back laughing with your good fortune to be in a position to deny me something? Kat

Kat, Well, while I could be wrong, I doubt that anyone is deliberately withholding their expertise from you, and I *know* I haven't the foggiest idea how to make any kind of internet "proxy", which is why I haven't tried to help. I wish I could. Perhaps many others here also don't know how to help out with this "proxy", either. <<<Dan Moyer>>> ----- Original Message ----- From: <gertie at visionsix.com> To: "EUforum" <EUforum at topica.com> Sent: Sunday, July 06, 2003 12:29 PM Subject: proxy > > > Jeeze, it's happened again.

I can't even begin to explain my adulation regarding proxies! I love them. I have one on all the machines I use to get rid of pop up ads, spoof headers, and use anonymous proxies all over the world. I have set up proxies on other businesses machines to act as a dial-up server. The ISP I work for used one a while back as a mediary server to cache pages. I could go on and on. I don't think anybody does not want to help, but when people hear "program an http-proxy", they immediately get turned off, just human behaviour, not a conscious endeavor to ignore you. I think some don't really know the benefits and scope proxies bring to the table. I know I researched it a year ago and was put off by the complexities. Also, I think somebody would have to know TCP/IP pretty well. Of course, things may have changed in the past year. ----- Original Message ----- From: <gertie at visionsix.com> To: "EUforum" <EUforum at topica.com> Sent: Sunday, July 06, 2003 1:29 PM Subject: proxy > > > Jeeze, it's happened again.

It seems to me that to create a reverse proxy in eu would require duplicating the same code used in an apache server. That would be very expensive and time consumming when you could simply buy a copy of an apache server with the $500 and set it up as a reverse proxy. Bernie

I sincerely request that as much of this conversation as possible remains in the forum. I hope many others agree. I feel we all can learn from this battlement. <-- is that a word? As many problems as I have with kat. I still like her drive. I still would love to see the proxy completed. If others don't beat me to it.

The OS didn't matter to me, other than it be running on a shell hosting company that doesn't reboot every day, meaning it would be a nix box of some flavor to be stable. > Publish the Requirements Specification for scrutiny and comment, then update > it > in light of the feedback you get.

That's amazing, considering i set up a tcp dcc proxy in mirc in 5 MINUTES, and set up http proxying (with of options) in mirc in AN HOUR. On win95. I expect i'll be rebooting this weekend, and removing those two harddrives i'd have been using in a web venture, so don't start on a 200 hour coding spree. People have had the time already to earn the $100/$500, they didn't care to. Once the drives are out, i'll be out of here too. Kat

Yeas, i know. Same as squid. But no one i know who knows nix will help me. And no one i contacted will allow squid to run in their shells, if i found someone to set it up. If it comes to being friends or otherwise working *with* anyone, i am always at the bottom of the pile. Kat

On win95. > > Ok, how about this? Show us how you did the proxying in mIRC. Maybe that > will inspire someone else. Ok, attached find these files: xlations2.txt is mirc script to translate using Bablefish, which is just about anyone's feeble first attempt to provide language services to irc. It sits between the irc user from anywhere, and Altavista's Bablefish, using my address to do the http to Bablefish. Note mine also translates between all the other languages, not just between other languages and english and vice versa. Note also Bablefish sucks, and native speakers of the other languages will laugh at you. partyline1.txt is a tcp dcc relay, like a mini-ircd without services, and only one channel. It did what i was asked to do. I can't find the one that started as a raw internet tcp, and proxied to irc. This one, if it even works on newer mircs, needs the irc ctcp handshake to work first,,,,,, if i remember right,,, (who cares?). script2.txt is a IRC/MUD translator, for using mirc scripts in a MUD. It won't work on newer mirc, and that particular MU* has been gone for years. email.mrc is written by someone else, it checks email, prolly won't work in newer mirc versions. httpserver10.txt serves web pages, and builds a directory listing as needed. It's like Apache, in a way. It's THREADED. webspider4.txt reads pages off of the internet and dumps the html to a mirc @window. Or the status window. tiggrdmsg.txt is the remote tcp user control panel for Tiggr, in mirc. It's disabled in Tiggr now, no one was interested in it. mwdefs.txt proxies the http server at Mirriam Webster for irc use. I don't remember if i ever finished it. It took so long to get a page here that people on irc gave up on it. I mined the entire site. I did the same for intellicast weather pages, but i know it doesn't work anymore, because they changed the webpages, while i had the code turned off because of abuse on irc. The remote traceroute code is similar (not included here), it's also not done automagically by Tiggr anymore. The traceroute used a remote trace, proxying it thru my ip to anyone on irc. None of these is likely to work on versions newer than 5.51, and i offer no guarantees they might work, or that Sears sells the correct hat for you. Anything else? Kat

I got most of your attachments ... that looks like a lot of coding. There is no way I could have written all that in 1 hour (let alone 5 minutes!). Kat, you would seem to be an unusually quick program writer ... if you knew Linux socket programming then you'd prolly be able to write the reverse proxy yourself within 2 hours or so. :D Heh. jbrown On Wed, Jul 09, 2003 at 11:21:26PM -0500, gertie at visionsix.com wrote: > > > On 9 Jul 2003, at 23:04, gertie at visionsix.com wrote: > > > > > The following section of this message contains a file attachment > > prepared for transmission using the Internet MIME message format. > > If you are using Pegasus Mail, or any another MIME-compliant system, > > <snip> > > Well, that got mangled all to hell by Topica.

Not time comsuming at all. There are several http servers and "browsers" written in Eu. Linking them is no big deal. But a winbox would require periodic rebooting, meaning that downtime is going to be there, no matter what else happens. This is all repetition. Kat

I never said i wrote all those attachements in 5 minutes. I wrote what i said i wrote in 5 minutes. I wrote what i said i wrote in an hour. Adding flood control so pervs couldn't foul things up took longer, and eventually i took all of it down.

The "Hello World" demo for Eu doesn't have as the first item "By yourself, learn how to pick the best Windows version, install it, install all the patches, get all the correct drivers, install the best remote admin tools, learn all the least-used esoteric api calls, then get a gui and install that, learn all about it, get kicked off linux.net a few times (for your benefit, naturally), have everyone you have ever asked for help tell you to go read the refman files,,, and finally, set up Eu on your box with a bad installer, figure all the paths and permissions, link the correct user shells to it, then open vi and start guessing what to do.

That's what I'm trying to send...the idea is for someone else (maybe robsz1, since he knows the most about apache on this list afaik) to get the code, set up apache and install the proxy code, and verify that it works. That person could go as far as install the proxy on a remote linux box on the internet, so you could do what you want (get an url and go there to verify it yourself). I can't do that, I dont have a linux box exposed on the net right now...so I want to give the code away so some else who is in a better position than I can do it. > You can't zip the file, you can't break it up and send in pieces, > you can't send one file at a time, same ole same ole. I could do all of that ... there's little point, since you yourself would not be able use the code I'd be sending directly, you'd need someone else to install it for you on the remote linux box (not *nix mind you) .... once installed you could _configure_ it yourself ... but you need to know basic *nix and Apache to even install the proxy code properly.

But if this is the thanks I get, maybe I was mistaken to even try. Anyways, here is a link so someone can download the code and robsz1's test pages, its all together in a neat bundle: http://www.geocities.com/jbrown1050/katprog_tar_gz.html Someone install linux on a box, install apache, delete the default apache web site and extract this to the default dir (which was /home/httpd for me), install euphoria, and then edit the apache config file to support using exu programs as cgi scripts. (Not kat tho.) Then the whole thing should work without a hitch.

A port of TCP4U to linux. IIRC. I did that, but I'd recommend socketlib.eu, which accesses BSD sockets directly. This gives support for asych sockets, unlike TCP4u. > What kat is asking for is a sort of reverse proxy.

It would probably be easiest if the program read the IP from a local file or something, which in turn could be uploaded by kat every time her IP changes. The silver lining with the method I suggested is that you only need a simple gets() to get the IP in that case, which is easily done via Eu. > * Denial to foward to her from an IP because she said so. > * Web interface? > * Add this IP to the list. > You best date it in your database. > She will probably want to know its age. > Add a lifetime feature? - Length of time to Refuse. > * Automatically removed Aged IP's? > * Manual method to remove IP's Again, uploading of a file with a list of ips (and ages) would be easiest. This would require that the program be more fault tolerant (in case kat makes a typo in the file or somesuch), but its still easier than writing a web interface just for this purpose (although perhaps not as secure). As for checking the ip of the connector against the list, accept(2) will return the address of the caller in a C struct, so there is no problem with the IP's retrival. > * Settable Max # of connections to kat limit. > * She is on dial-up! > How many connections could she possibly handle at the same time?

And yet, it's not enough for you to code it last year. I'm not terribly interested in your version now anyhow, since i was told in #euphoria last year that it was working, and during the following week i found bugs that stopped it from working, and the last version you all supplied didn't work at all, and you couldn't get it working even with the shell passwords. I didn't offer to pay for a version i had to do all the debugging on for you, i said i wanted a working shell account with the proxy installed and running to my specs. It was never done. No one has done it in PHP, Perl, Python, TCL, Lua, Eu, C, or anything else. Not for a remote installation. Now they are saying re-code over a megabyte of mirc scripts and all the Eu script in to PHP, and run that,, or run 100% mirc code in wine on a nix box, which means i can't see mirc running in an ftp session??

I assume you mean katprog.exu The problems of euforge were beyond my control to fix. As for the program itself, it works. I just tested it on my local apache 5 minutes ago. (The ip it tried to connect to wasn't valid so it timed out, but other than that it works.) I haven't completely debugged it, but only because I stopped working on it since I was told it was no longer wanted. Anyways, in the other email the relay program i was talking about was NOT katprog.exu ... it uses socketlib.eu and runs standalone. (Actually this one is the one that doesn't work ... relay seems to hang at some point, not sure where or why yet.) Its called testproxy.exu and was intended to be an example program for socketlib.eu > I didn't offer to pay for a > version i had to do all the debugging on for you, i said i wanted a working > shell account with the proxy installed and running to my specs.

No, you'd have to use VNC to see your mirc (VNC is a sort of graphical telnet that is platform-independent, so you can see X programs running on a *nix on a Windoze box and vice versa).
