Hi every body

I have a very strang problem, I wounder if someone can at least tell me what is going on.


Some of my visitors reporting that there is an adult picture on on the top of every page of my board!!

I can't see any thing neither the rest of my visitors.

It is only a group of people and all of them are comming from the same proxy.


Please advice me what to do since this is very embarrassing for me.

They think I put these pictures.

Some possibility:

- the proxy server is broken, showing a different images than what it supposed to be

- you messed up your virtual server configuration, the adult page is shown when somebody visits your site using IP address or non HTTP/1.1 compliant browser

Thank yor for your reply priyadi

It is not showing an adult page instead of my site, it is a picture on the top of every page :bawling:

And if I messed up my virtual server configuration, whay is this problem a peare only with this group of people!!

Thanks

Maybe this group got together and thought it would be funny to play an april fools joke on you.

:)

what's your url so the WHT members can check for you?

Yes this can happen if someone is playing with proxy server to make it more efficient :stickout

masood is right. The proxy server is caching images and someone on their proxy has been looking at porn. Tell them to contact their ISP (or whoever runs the proxy) and have it corrected. It is their fault, not yours.

The reason this could be happening is if the name of the file being called is the same as the name of the adult file stored on the proxy. Properly configured the caching should be fine but it doesn't appear to be correctly linking image1.gif with the adultsite and your image1.gif to your site. It should display your gif even with the same name because it's linked to a different domain.

Well, that's one possibility :)

It could also be that the image is actually replaced, but you don't see it because the original one is cached for you.

That's what I think too. :rolleyes:

kind of funny joke, though :D

If you're hosting with Kikko.com... then that explains it..

Thank you very much for every one.

I have a dedicated server with VO

And no, it is not a joke or April fool.

This proxy suppose to filter Adult sites :D I dont know whay it does the oposit with my server!!

I was talled that there is a header to force proxy not to use cach but I could not find it.

Are you using simple HTML or some scripting like PHP, JSP to generate pages?

There is a chance that your specific visitors have a nice trojan installed that diverts all HTTP requests to an ad site that serves porn ads before going to yours (or any) website. I can't recall the name of the particular worm/trojan whatever you might call it but you could ask your visitors to:

1. Try Netscape to see how it behaves
2. Go to http://www.lavasoft.de and download Adaware that will find the trojan

In the meantime, they can enjoy the pron :D

I am using PHP pages, a VB forum just like this one.

Here's how you force no-cache through PHP:


<?
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // Date in the past
header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . "GMT"); // always modified
header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1
header("Pragma: no-cache"); // HTTP/1.0
?>



unless the proxy is dead not to follow the standards, it will not cache the pages.
