Automagically streaming external content thru local server - 04/03/2004 5:56 PM
I'm one of the admins at the website/forum norshroom.org. We've recently moved servers, for increased security. This is done by deploying UBB.threads on a server using SSL. We've run into a few problems tho, mainly that linking to resources on other sites cause browsers (in IE particulary), to give the user a error message about not getting all the content thru secured pipes.
I've made a fetch.php script that opens a fopen to the url supplied by the f variable and streams the file to the user. The next step in resolving this issues would be to do inline replacements of the <img> tag, replacing '<img src="http:' with '<img src="https://norshroom.ath.cx/fetch.php?f=http:'. I've been trying to edit ubbt.inc.php, but the changes I made didn't seem to gett applied. Anyone got a hint about what the best way of resolving this would be?
