Query in gpmsClient.java #7

Closed vaidhyesh1 closed 7 years ago

vaidhyesh1 commented 7 years ago

When i was looking at gpmsClient.java in (/gpms/client) ,I saw this line "public String PROXY_URL = "https://anokha.amrita.edu/glype/browse.php?b=4";".(Line 37) When i went to that link,there was glype running inside anokha.amrita.edu . Is this legal? P.S : I'm new at this ,so correct me if i am wrong!!

@drunkskunk I cannot comment on the legality of that :sweat_smile: .. But it got the job done. I'll anyway be removing glype now and replacing it with a more secure alternative. (which would allow access only to GPMS)

vaidhyesh1 commented 7 years ago

But using anokha.amrita.edu is trickery, isn't it??That's my point. There must be some legal way!

niranjan94 commented 7 years ago

Yep. It is trickery. Can't deny that :smiling_imp:

Well, if it gets the job done, isn't it arguably a 'hack' ;)

pwnfoo commented 7 years ago

Closing this for now. @drunkskunk , please open a new issue for enhancing the GPMS feature :)

pwnfoo commented 7 years ago

@drunkskunk We have moved away from glype. Good luck figuring out the mechanism now ;)

I noticed that!! xD
