<xxxxxx> <Jayinwww> this link working for anyone http://geo.craigslist.org/iso/ph ? <-- From like a week ago. Nobody visit it.. it's some kind of cache poisoning.. when I hit craigslist.org now it redirects to manila.craigslist.org.. anyone have his hostmask in logs?
<-- Ducki has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
<GwaiLo> probably
<GwaiLo> it redirects me to manila as well
<xxxxxx> :\
<xxxxxx> I told you not to hit the url
<xxxxxx> Now presumably your ISP's cache is poisoned
<GwaiLo> um, huh ?
<GwaiLo> what exactly do you think is happening ?
<xxxxxx> hit plain craigslist.org now.. it will redirect you to manila again
<xxxxxx> any CL sub will redirect to manila now
<GwaiLo> no, I then clicked on australia and melbourne ... hitting craigslist.org takes me to melbourne.CL
<xxxxxx> type it
<GwaiLo> I'm betting it's a cookie, not a "ISP Cache poisoning"
<GwaiLo> I did
<-- Adriaan has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
<GwaiLo> I then went to another browser, typed "craigslist.org" and it took me to sfbay.CL
<GwaiLo> um.... you do know how that url works, right ?
<GwaiLo> geo.craigslist.org/iso/<COUNTRY ISO CODE HERE> redirects you to the corresponding subdomain ...
<GwaiLo> and then, I'm betting, it sets a cookie saying "This is my default location"
<xxxxxx> GwaiLo: yeah..
<GwaiLo> I think you've got it completely ass backwards.
<xxxxxx> now if I hit any CL subs it redirects me to manila
<GwaiLo> xxxxxx: have you tried clearing your CL cookies ?
<xxxxxx> or even http://craigslist.org/.. redirects to manila
<GwaiLo> ok, try doing http://geo.craigslist.org/iso/au and then see what happens
<GwaiLo> funnily enough, after hitting that, and then melbourne ... I get a cookie that has the name: cl_def_hp and the content: melbourne
<xxxxxx> I hit that url, then craigslist.org and it redirects me to the SF bay area as expected
<GwaiLo> check out your cookie
<GwaiLo> it defines where it sends you.
<GwaiLo> there is absolutely no "ISP Cache poisoning" ... for 2 reasons ... 1.) it's a cookie and 2.) "ISP Cache poisoning" doesn't mean anything.
<xxxxxx> Well that's really stupid imo. What if someone from SF was looking for jobs in manila? It just assumes they live there
<GwaiLo> as far as I can tell, only if you go through the geo locator.
