Hi all!

thought of starting a thread for linux users that don't have access to Windows, and therefor can't use the PS3 Proxy method for Windows.

Was just thinking of how to do it, and theoretically, I believe it's possible. Will test later tonight as I've thought out the process of doing it. However, it won't be so easy as the point and click option for Windows, but it should work. Will fill in details if it is successful and/or there are interested linux users.

i can help the testing if you want

i'm thinking of using squid proxy for a start but i;m not sure whether it supports redirecting or not even though it has the caching utility. we may be able to exploit the cache folder for the redirection. for capturing the url, i think it will be sufficient enough with squid log (or wireshark).

i'll see what i can do after work later this evening

Vorchiel is soooo geeky

no i'm not

know a bit here a bit there. but by no means an expert

yea, definitely squid. I was thinking of doing a really rough job (so I can download KZ2 hehe). grab the url from squid, download the file via whatever method, get apache up and configured, edit the hosts file to point the url to localhost, and see if that'll work. if the url redirect works, then even better.

hmm..proxy on linux?

i can test it out this weekend on Ubuntu if you guys want it

got it to work...need to remember what i did tho...hahaha

i think already got thread like this.. hmmm

***lazy mode on... **

try this

This is tested only on Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron). YMMV.


1) Install the following software if you don't have it already:



You can substitute lighttpd with apache or whatever it is you want to use for the httpd server.

2) Configure squid

I only did a basic configuration, editing the following in /etc/squid/squid.conf:



3) Configure jesred

jesred.acl
uncomment 0.0.0.0/0

jesred.rules

create a regex for the url to the file you want to download. you can get the url from /var/log/squid/access.log



4) Configure lighttpd

nothing much to configure. it runs out of /var/www by default. Just save your saved .pkg file there.



Hope that works for you!

wat is proxy server? wanna to know about this long time ago

What is this supposed to achieve?

faster downloads of stuff?

trophies?

have fun staring at the black screen + progress bar while downloading patches & fw updates normally

How does a proxy server and redirects help?

The lighttpd-squid-jesred method still working before 2.70 or 2.76 firmware?

good job guys.. dalam MAC ada tak

Yup, it still works.
