Objet : [HackIt Bar] [Code] Alpha2.1 - Proxy blacklist & redirection detection

 

Hi,

I've had a look at the tasks that could be added for the two days left for 
alpha2.1, and I think a good one could be to add mechanisms to better handle 
the pages that don't work with the proxy. Right now it can be very confusing: 
for example, when you get a redirect, you can be "ejected" of the game, without 
understanding what happens.

Aside from the plugin, there are two things that can be added to the current 
game to improve the situation: 

1.      A page redirection detection: add javascript on the top frame to 
prevent the proxied websites from getting rid of the bar. 

2.      "Report this page" feature: an option in the option menu that would 
allow a player to report a broken page. Reports would then be stored in a SQL 
table (with URL, login, date/time - one row per report). When the page is 
reported broken by several users, the page would be automatically deactivated 
(number configurable in the config file - only reports from authenticated users 
count), and replaced by a screenshot (taken from browsershots.org 
<http://browsershots.org/>  for example). Two other tables would allow to tune 
this automated behavior: a whitelist (to keep specific urls active, even if 
they are reported lots of times) and a blacklist (to deactivate pages, even if 
they haven't been reported); in those lists, using the '*' wildcard would allow 
to match multiple pages. 

Let me know if you think it would be good - and if it would take the two days 
left for alpha2.1.



[David] I can’t comment regarding the technical part, but feature wise it seems 
like a very good idea to me. 

Vlad what’s your opinion ?
