Since I doubt the suggested tests were performed, I did the work instead. I reached the 'up' website, and timed out on the 'down' one... both as expected. And I diffed the clearnet and tornet versions of the 'up' one and they matched, sans 'alteration'.
If one can prove exo is the site with the cache, and that it's also configured improperly, this case might have more merit. Can people tell me which of all the websites they surfed today had a cache somewhere between their browser and the site httpd? Did one block all those internet paths on a whim against caches? Is TorProject going to test all exits to examine for potential caches in the path and flag them all for similar reasons? And what exactly does one propose to do about all the caches and other proxies it can't detect because they happen to be more transparent? I highly think not, on the former three accounts. And 'oops, policy failure' on the latter. Some cache in the path in question is ejecting a harmless and indeed rather useful error message. One that even caught a bug in Tor. Users are free to block exo in their config, or not. In the grand scheme of things, I'd suggest it's a waste of time. > security breaches So now caches are a security breach too? That's news to me, lol :) It's up to torproject now. Happy Tor'ing as always :) And since I'm sure someone will bring up headers somewhere in all this mootness, here's a few of those too :) GET / HTTP/1.0 Host: www.freebsd.org HTTP/1.0 200 OK Content-Type: text/html Accept-Ranges: bytes ETag: "xxxxxxxxxx" Last-Modified: Tue, 02 Feb 2010 13:45:19 GMT Content-Length: 20987 Date: xxx, xx Feb 2010 xx:xx:xx GMT Server: httpd/1.4.x LaHonda X-Cache: MISS from fra1-proxy2.bbw.net.au X-Cache-Lookup: MISS from fra1-proxy2.bbw.net.au:3128 Age: xxxx X-Cache: HIT from proxy2.hbt.bbw.net.au X-Cache-Lookup: HIT from proxy2.hbt.bbw.net.au:8080 Via: 1.0 fra1-proxy2.bbw.net.au:3128 (squid/2.7.STABLE3), 1.0 proxy2.hbt.bbw.net.au:8080 (squid/2.7.STABLE3) Connection: close www.fibrlink.net 125.96.255.23 router exoassist 59.167.207.19 proxy1.bbw.net.au > proxy1.hbt.broadbandwireless.com.au 203.22.23.9 www.freebsd.org 69.147.83.33 www.sadf239csksd93.org [not found] *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to [email protected] with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
