thanks for posting all this

fwiw it appears that ipfw forwarding is broken on mac os x 10.6.x – so if you run into trouble with this & are using snow leopard – there’s the problem :P

Automatic updates to /etc/hosts for those who want it

Just wanted to thank you for this list, I ended up routing it over a VPN but I still need your /etc/hosts file to know what to route and what to leave on my normal connection. Much appreciated. Also, I recently stopped being able to get on and found that the IP address 205.241.224.46 on hulu’s end was being accessed on the flash streaming port. It wasn’t one I had previously been routing over the VPN. Maybe useful for someone else.

Thanks for the reply.

If I use your rewrite I rule I get a 404 on both http://releasegeo.hulu.com/ and http://releasegeo.hulu.com/geoCheck

If I take the /$1 off the end, I get a printout of the path.cgi, without it being parsed or executed.

Here’s my complete VirtualHost

DocumentRoot /root/releasegeo/apache
ServerName releasegeo.hulu.com

# Other directives here
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*) /usr/lib/cgi-bin/path.cgi/$1

The path.cgi script is not meant to be executed from the command line. Try using something like:
RewriteRule ^(.*) /a/b/c/path.cgi/$1

Wondering if you can help. On my US server:

/usr/lib/cgi-bin/path.cgi
/var/www/relasegeo/proxy.rb

in my apache file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule $/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/path.cgi$1

When I go to http://releasegeo.hulu.com/ I just get a directory listing with the proxy.rb file
When I go to http://releasegeo.hulu.com/geoCheck I get a 404

When I executive /usr/lib/cgi-bin/path.cgi from CLI I get:

/usr/lib/cgi-bin/path.cgi:4:in `+’: can’t convert nil into String (TypeError)
from /usr/lib/cgi-bin/path.cgi:4

Any ideas??

Try running this command:
$ curl http://releasegeo.hulu.com/geoCheck

If you have set up the rewrite rules correctly then you should get:



  valid


  false
