    HSphere 2.4 Discussion Thread

    Raw Log Files have changed. They are being saved without the hour (hh) indicator in the filename. Also the fields included have changed, including some fields that weren't there before and omitting some that were. riley

    trace routes

    I cannot answer with precision (you have come close to the limit of my expertise on the subject) but I'll take a stab at it. I would suggest that more than 200ms for any hop is too much and more than 12 hops is getting a bit high. If the performance problem is on the network the host uses...

    trace routes

    I'm no expert on the subject, but I'll try. A trace route allows you to see the path a request takes to reach its destination. The results show you each hop taken and the time required for each (in milliseconds), as well as packet loss information. This data allows you to see if there are...

    Blacklisted

    It is unfortunate that the reply simply states, "found in a DNS blacklist database." It would be useful to know what database. riley

    Obfuscating email addresses

    Here is one more I've used in the distant past. <script language="JavaScript"> function doEmail(mailbox,domain) { document.location.href='mailto:'+mailbox+'@'+domain; } </script> <a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="doEmail('me','mydomain.com');" target="_blank">Email Me</a> This...

    Obfuscating email addresses

    Yes, and only put it in the page in one place. The part that uses the function can be used many times on the page, defining many different links. I used this method until recently and it works quite well. Frankly, I can't remember why I switched. I guess I was looking for the "perfect"...

    Obfuscating email addresses

    Yes, these are commonly used methods. But I visited the last link you posted and there is a message above the latter one on the page that states, "Note: The below unicode method doesn't work. Please use the javascript method above instead. (I'm leaving it here because it is an interested method...

    Obfuscating email addresses

    If you don't know what this is or are not otherwise doing it, you should be aware that many of the bots (spiders) that visit your site are harvesting email addresses from your pages for spam email. To avoid this, most web sites will obfuscate (obscure) any email address they show on their pages...

    Banning IPs

    It's written and it works quite well. But, owing to the fact that it is very versitile, I still have a few things that need perfecting (mostly to keep people from shooting themselves in the foot). For example, the code must prohibit the redirect of a banned client to another .aspx page on the...

    Access query going haywire...

    Well put, Logan. However, people should pay attention to the issue of scalability (as pointed out in the article). If you think your web site has the potential to become a little busy, build it with something other than Access. You'll save yourself the time and effort of converting it...

    Access query going haywire...

    Yes, I've read it and have also read others like it. Furthermore, I whole heartedly agree with them and have for years. I would (and do) only use Access/Jet in applications with VERY low concurrency, using queries with VERY limited JOINS and/or WHERE clauses (i.e., referencing few tables)...

    Odd entries in web log

    After investigating this IP address I have discovered that it is a bad bot (misbehaving spider). I was not able to find out what information this bot looks for; it might be completely harmless and ligitimate, or it could be harvesting email address for spam lists. But the way it tries to access...

    New forum suggestion

    Well, since we agree on the concept, what shall we call it and when will we see it? riley

    New forum suggestion

    Correct, I didn't want to limit this only to JH-related things. Issues could be internet-wide, or something that is going on elsewhere that the folks here should watch out for. riley

    New forum suggestion

    I would like to see a new forum for sharing information related to things like, suspicious log entries, suspicious events, undesirable spiders, spam (maybe), and anything else that seems to fit. "Security" is the first thing that comes to mind, but that might be too specific. What do you...

    Odd entries in web log

    I didn't know where to post this, so I put it here. Over the last couple months I've seen entries like this in my log files (I obfuscated my domain name *****): date time s-ip cs-method cs-uri-stem cs-uri-query s-port cs-username c-ip cs(User-Agent) cs(Cookie) cs(Referer) cs-host sc-status...

    Access query going haywire...

    That suggestion raises an interesting thought: perhaps the slowness is in the handling the resultant recordset and not the retrieval of it. Display a time stamp before you request the data and after you get the data, and see how long the actual data access is taking. Or, comment out the code...

    Access query going haywire...

    Well, it doesn't get much simpler than that. It isn't as if there is a non-indexed field in a WHERE clause or any other such thing. Have you tried doing a "compact and repair database" from the tools menu? I'm not sure that would help much (if at all), but it's worth a try. riley

    Access query going haywire...

    Yorri, Post the query. Perhaps someone here can see something. riley
