[squid-users] RE: YouTube Resolution Locker
Hi Eliezer, If the URL is the same, meaning using the same locked resolution for the same video, the deduplicated ID will be the same so it'll come from the existing Squid cache. I agree with you if the admin changes the resolution the ID will be different so it'll not be taken from the cache.

Hi csn233, If you keep the same resolution, yes it'll be cached. Bye Fred -- View this message in context: http://squid-web-proxy-cache.1019090.n4.nabble.com/YouTube-Resolution-Locker-tp4667042p4667089.html Sent from the Squid - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Re: [squid-users] RE: YouTube Resolution Locker
No it will not.. Since the ID is being changed from a stub id per video to using some hashing algorithm with some salt added into it there is no basic way to use the same ID for the same video.

Hi All, Feel free to modify the script (client side) to do not send all requests. As Cassiano said, only the YouTube urls need to be rewritten...

My point here is that you have not mentioned anywhere that your script collects information. Script is made by Unveiltech and it sends all data to Unveiltech servers. Your server can very easily send redirection to their own server and fetch username OR password of any site. (If end user is not technically sound) For example your server can easily redirect http://login.google.com to http://storeid.unveiltech.com/login.google.com/ (which looks exactly same as Google login page). End user will not even know what is happening. Not sure if you did this on purpose OR you are new to programming that you did not realize this huge security and privacy angle. Additionally your script is one small function modification EXAMPLE redirector script. A real script would include full logic of youtube resolution locker (what your storeid server does currently). No offence meant, please. I am just warning other users if they try to use this php script, there is huge security risk. Regards, PS: Sorry for being off-topic on squid mailing list. AMM
[squid-users] Re: YouTube Resolution Locker
HI Amm, Everyone is free to modify the script (client side) by sending YouTube urls only, no need to send all the Squid traffic. Then, we collect nothing, the requests are reviewed by the script and it returns modified urls to lock the YouTube resolutions. We do not make any statistics, we do not share data with internal or external teams. We're not new to programming and we DO realize security and privacy issues, you're free to use the API or not, we force nobody. Everyone is free to spend time for developing a similar function or use ours for a quick solution. The one small functionis for free to all, we spent time to develop this API and we're a commercial company. So, do you work for free ? we do not. If you are interested by the complete API, no problem just contact us and I'm sure we will find an arrangement No problem for the No offence, all comments are welcome. PS: Sorry for being off-topic on squid mailing list, too.

Bye Fred It would be better practice to publish a script which is pre-restricted to the YT URLs which your server is useful for and your initial advertisement stated its purpose was. That would protect your servers from excessive bandwidth from naive administrators, help to offer better security by default, and protect your company from this type of complaint and any future legal accusations that may arise from naive use of the script.

Hi Amos, You're totaly right here. We'll prepare a version 1.01 including ACL restrictions... Bye Fred -- View this message in context: http://squid-web-proxy-cache.1019090.n4.nabble.com/YouTube-Resolution-Locker-tp4667042p4667058.html Sent from the Squid - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Amos Yes and also mention on top of script that Script sends URL data to your servers and giving link to privacy policy and if / how you use the URL data. Otherwise you may really have legal issue for capturing data without permission. (Even if you directly throw it in dustbin you can still be sued. - just my two cents) Amm.

Hi James, All is in the title YouTube Resolution Locker, so... The API is there to lock the resolution to low value, we think the API to help in reducing bandwidth as HD videos consume a lot. Regarding bandwidth limiter with YouTube, do you think Squid admins need a special script ? There are plenty of samples explaining how to use Quota with Squid... ;) Bye Fred -- View this message in context: http://squid-web-proxy-cache.1019090.n4.nabble.com/YouTube-Resolution-Locker-tp4667042p4667062.html Sent from the Squid - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

A script may be required to identify the current list. James
[squid-users] RE: YouTube Resolution Locker
it probably wouldn't work anyway, unless youtube really did use a consistent url domain name for their content delivery network.. Not correct. It is possible to cache youtubes content using StoreID. Additionally, locking the resolution is much more trivial, as the requested youtube-URL contains the requested resolution as one of the ... pars. Just needs modification. I run a free youtube proxy myself, for years already, and also do the resolution locking myself, to low res, to avoid overload of the proxy. -- View this message in context: http://squid-web-proxy-cache.1019090.n4.nabble.com/YouTube-Resolution-Locker-tp4667042p4667064.html Sent from the Squid - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
