Hello! Coren and I have managed to move Tool Labs to the Dynamic nginx based proxy system used by rest of labs. It is much more flexible than the current Apache based proxying system, and faster as well. We will also gain SPDY support for tools.wmflabs.org when it switches!
For tools users - you do not have to do anything to use the new proxying system. Everything will continue to work as it used to. It currently runs on http://tools-proxy-test.wmflabs.org/. It should be exactly equivalent to tools.wmflabs.org so all your tools should be accessible from that URL as well. Please test around to ensure that there aren't random edge cases that we have missed. Note that there is no https yet but there will be when we move. If you would specifically like to test https please let us know and we can cook something up. We will move tools.wmflabs.org to it on 16th April unless issues crop up. Thanks to Coren for helping move this, and thanks to Ryan Lane and Andrew Bogott for helping build out the proxy system! -- Yuvi Panda T http://yuvi.in/blog _______________________________________________ Labs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/labs-l
