[proxyTools-users] Sorted Out CGI Ambles... a bit.....

[Michael F. <Mic...@tb...>]

Ok - now my cgiambles.txt looks like this

#Format of entries: firewall, preamble, postamble
#localProxy will request $preamble.escaped($url).$postamble
#Use the first line that matches our firewall, or use '*' (all
firewalls).
#*, https://vip.megaproxy.com/go/,
#*, http://web.archive.org/,
#*, http://216.239.35.120/translate_c?&langpair=en%7Cen&u=,
#XXX - note the hard-coded spanish to english conversion here.
#XXX - This gets english pages,but some english words look like
#XXX - spanish and get translated (e.g. 'can' changes to 'dog' :-)
#*, http://babelfish.altavista.com/urltrurl?url=, &lp=es_en
#XXX - We should probably check
#XXX - the user's system to see if he's probably looking for
#XXX - pages in the chosen lang here, and choose some other conversion!
#Use Japanese (ja) (or chinese (zn)), low chance of accidental
collisions
#Note: translation ends at this: <blink>*** TRANSLATION ENDS HERE
***</blink>

Which `works` - still no images from the looks of things - could just be
our system fluffing it.

Ought to read
GET
http://*******.com/cgiproxy/nph-proxy.pl/000100A/http/www.clanbob.net/

How do I `escape` the preamble so that the url reads correctly (minus
the :/ ) for the James Marshall cgi.

As it appears to work and the missing images may be down to my system
perhaps this is unnecessary ??

Also the cgi proxy modifies links so following any links from the page
showsthe proxy address  in the IE window (which you predicted) - but it
looks from the log like localproxy figures this out and doesn`t chain
cgi proxy requests...

I  think ?? - it worked anyway.


Is the GET http://216.239.51.102/search?client=navclient-auto&failedi my
IE still automatically launching a search after a  failed request - if
so its probably the google toolbar and I need to try and kill that if I
can.

Anyway - many thanks Wayne

IT man has told us hes just taking superscout down for an upgrade - so
who knows what the system will look like when that`s finished !!!!
