Post by Gregory BondHello everyone,
I need some help regrading byassing firewalls.My college has internet
aces but it prevents us from dowloading music(*.mp3,*.mid,etc.)from the
net.
Then Don't - The firewall, being lame as those things are, probably looks
for *and logs* specific URL's and plain-text file names. So the first step
is to not use things that it recognises.
Post by Gregory BondI use a win xp sp2 and browse using ie 6. Is there any way how i
can dowload music on my computer using this connection. (We have a
proxy server throught which all the connections pass)
So *you* must have a proxy server *outside* the firewall to do the
downloading, then fetch through the firewall using some protocol that hides
the content - The combine of SSL and HTTP probably *will* go through
cleanly.
Since this is supposedly relevant to Python, how about the proxy being
Shareaza "remoted" with Pythons XML-RPC over SSH using Wx-Python as a GUI?
Maybe even support streaming so all the "warez" reside on the proxy, yet the
music plays where you are; it's probably the safest way. "Don't shit where
you eat" - "They" come and kick the door in - but not at your place.
*That* would be a neat project.
PS:
Once you got your proxy setup, you do not really need to go through the
firewall at all. A DVD/RW goes straight through with lots of bandwith ;-)
