Blockland Server Status

A haxy way? Mess with POST and http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/help/

You can even change it with PHP

My point is, what would RTB offer?

[Ephialtes]

You can't do it reliably unless you can hack the RTB Auth, the user agent protection is just to deter people from wasting their time. Feel free to give it a shot though - I suspect you'll just run into "Unable to verify that you are a real user" errors.

Yep, even tried forwarding all POST without touching any of the POST, directly through a PHP thing I made.

No, i wouldn't mind a mod to use this.

Although, it would be easier for everyone just to have it with out the requirement of "the mod".

Currently, I'm fixing everything on kbyet.com

Didn't get time to work on my version of this yet.

The problem is that it would be pinged from the web-host server(byet), not your computer.

It still provides a relative measure of the most responsive servers.

Ok, I found a simple PHP ping function, but it dosen't seem to be working.

Code: [Select]

<?php 
function ping($host, $port, $timeout) { 
  $tB = microtime(true); 
  $fP = fSockOpen($host, $port, $errno, $errstr, $timeout); 
  if (!$fP) { return "down"; } 
  $tA = microtime(true); 
  return round((($tA - $tB) * 1000), 0)." ms"; 
}  
echo ping("www.google.com", 80, 10);  
?>
It works fine when I ping a website.

But when a try to ping a BL server (Badspots) it says it's down.

Code: [Select]

echo ping("74.52.20.186", 28100, 20); 


[Ephialtes]

Yeah its slightly more complicated than that.

[Kalphiter]

Code: (POST) [Select]

END
As far as I got :)

Anyway, seeing if the IP grabbing the web-page is connectable via port 80 is a common way to stop proxies :)

[qevil]

woot, now i have one in my signature.

[MackTheHunter]

Awesome. Using for Blockintosh. :D

[BobAndRob]

This does not currently work with Blockland. It just reads the master server.

Yeah, you already said so, but how. Is there something I do not know about? So if I am correct, you say this script does not use blockland && "RTB's server browser" !$= "The master server"
