It chooses this virthost based on the address you typed into<br>> your browser. So in this case your browser sends<br>> <br>> Host: torproject.org.6297b13a687b521a59c6bd79188a2501ec03a065.exit<br>> <br>> and the poor webserver is left to guess which virthost you had in mind,<br>> because it hasn't been configured to handle that virthost.<br>> <br>> Looks like the apache config for www.torproject.org defaults to giving<br>> you the virthost you expected, and the apache config for torproject.org<br>> defaults to giving you a virthost you didn't expect.<br>> <br>> Privoxy has a config option;<br>> +client-header-filter{hide-tor-exit-notation}<br>> that looks through all your Host: headers and strips "foo.exit" from them.<br>> We could imagine teaching Torbutton to do that too.<br>> <br>> But the real answer is that you are seeing just how much of a hack the<br>> dot-exit notation was. :) I say was because it's deprecated in 0.2.2<br>> and later.<br>> <br>> Hope that helps,<br>> --Roger<br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> tor-talk mailing list<br>> tor-talk@lists.torproject.org<br>> https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk<br></div> </div></body>
