I'm trying to set up an ad blackhole proxy in OS X. I set up iCab to
use an proxy auto config file (no-ads.pac) I got from
<http://www.schooner.com/~loverso/no-ads/>
It includes the following instructions to set up a script to send an
appropriate reject messsage:
>// b. A simple, blackhole server
>//
>// When needed, I run a simple "server" at port 3421 that denies
>// all requests. I include the shell script I use; this could
>// also be done with a "wait"-style perl script that did the same
>// thing, if exec'ing a shell was overly expensive on your computer
>// (it isn't on mine).
>//
>// Add this to inetd.conf:
>//
>// 3421 stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/local/lib/noproxy noproxy
>//
>// Create /usr/local/lib/noproxy as this shell script:
>//
>// #!/bin/sh
>// read a
>// read b
>// echo HTTP/1.0 501 No Ads Accepted
>// echo ""
>// exit
>//
I can execute the shell script in terminal, but it doesn't execute
when I try to telnet to port 3421. Is OS X configured in a different
manner?
