Re: [tor-dev] Tor Browser videos Automation

+ tor-dev Sorry for the noise, but thought of expanding the audience a little, maybe someone the time to take look into this, or might know what is going on. Any help is appreciated, we are trying to finish this project and this has been blocking us. Thanks! Sherief Alaa:

Hi Sherief,
So you're trying to get http, but you get https, correct? Sounds like it might be the HSTS Preload list. See https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2012/11/01/preloading-hsts/ torproject.org is among the domains on Firefox's preload list: https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/security/manager/ssl/nsSTSPre... I think you can turn off HSTS Preloading by creating an integer pref named "test.currentTimeOffsetSeconds", and setting it to 11491200. (Under about:config, right-click and choose "New > Integer".)

Hi Arthur, I've tested the pref and unfortunately it doesn't work. I still get the https version of torproject.org. -- Sherief Alaa pgp 0x8623B882

Hi Sherief, I gave it a try and to get it to work I had to do the following (Note steps 2, 3 and 4 are very bad for your privacy!): 1. Add "torproject.org" as an alias to localhost in /etc/hosts 2. Deactivate "HTTPS Everywhere" 3. Create "test.currentTimeOffsetSeconds" integer pref and set to 11491200 4. Preferences > Advanced > Network > Settings: Turn "Remote DNS" off Then I could see my localhost page by entering http://torproject.org in the URL bar.
