Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

cultiv8r, does the cfcontent tag really remove all the extra whitespace? When I used to use cold fusion, that was one thing that really annoyed me. I think when CF5 came out they finally added an option to eliminate the whitespace but I switched to ASP before I ever had a chance to try it.
The problem of leading spaces still exists in CF5, but using the CFCONTENT you can indeed fix that problem now. Just use it like this:

<CFCONTENT type="text/html" reset="YES">

That's why CF version GWebCache needs that tag enabled, otherwise clients that do not expect a leading space will assume there was an error. If the tag is disabled for security issues, there are some other workarounds for that problem but are not elegant. Wish Allaire/Macromedia put in some efforts in fixing that issue, it's been around for quite a while now. Haven't had the chance to try CF MX yet...

I just looked at your newest version (0.3). Looks good but I have a couple of suggestions for you.


Line 23:
If Request.Querystring("restart") = 1 Then StartASPEngine '//Change The Default Value


You should probably remove this or add a check for security.


Line 40-47:
If Request.Querystring("url") <> "" Then
UpdateHostCache
Status = "OK"
End If
If Request.Querystring("ip") <> "" Then
UpdateHostCache
Status = "OK"
End If


The way it is setup Request.QueryString("url") is checked up to 4 times and ip is checked up to 3 times. I would suggest changing the behavior of 'UpdateHostCache' to return the status and replace the lines above with:
Status = UpdateHostCache() ' Return "" if no update
Response.Write Status


Line 251-270:
Function IsValidIp


Should add a little more checking. The way it is right now if I sent the ip 0.0.0.0 or 255.255.255.255 or 999.999.999.999 it would pass even though it shouldn't.

Need to block these ips also: 10.*.*.*, 255.255.255.255, 172.16.*.* - 172.31.*.*, 0.0.0.0. ip range 192 should be changed to 192.168.*.*


I did this too but unless you can think of a reason, I see no reason to store the ip and port separately.

Also, just curious but why no locks?

Hi tshdos,
I said in the readme that you should change the
default values due security measures.

No locks,
yeah... I had some problems with it.
I still have no real idea what locks are good for.
during the stress test me iis froze.
then i killed the locks and it worked.

thanks,
paradog

It looks like the reason it froze up is because you have functions that exit without unlocking the application ie:

Function asdf
Application.Lock

If A ="" Then
' should be an application.unlock here
Exit Function
End If

...

Application.Unlock
End Function


The reason for the locks is to keep the counts correct.
An example would be if two clients hit the following line at the same time.
Application("count") = Application("count") + 1
If you assume Application("count") = 0 before they hit this line two things could happen. Either it will work fine and the count will
be 2 or when both clients get the value of count before adding one they both get the value 0 in which case both clients set the count to 1. Honestly if you are not going to get a lot of hits at the same time you don't really have to worry about this, but it doesn't hurt performance if done correctly. You only need to when updating really.

I did not notice the line said '// Change default values.
But you should probably set the default to something besides 1 since most of the other functions use a 1. Just some advice though.

Sure I will help. I don't need access to your server though. I have a few servers already.

I don't currently have or use ICQ. I might download it later though.

Well, thats cool.

What range do IPs have?
Is it always from 1 to 255?

For the purposes used here, it is probably easier just to compare the left n chars of the ip against the chars of the ip.
Example:

Public Const IP_MASKS = "127|192.168|(...)"

For Each Mask In Split( IP_MASKS, "|" )
If Left( HostIP, Len( Mask ) ) = Mask ) Then
'block ip
...

IPs range from 0 to 255. I am not sure if it is possible to have a 0 as the first number in an ip but it is ok for the others. I also think 255 might be reserved but I will have to check on that.

Yes that is me. I have not used it in a year or so. I assumed they would delete it after a while.

I have no problem with that.
