can't view screenshots on README

[danielb2]

Being asked to authenticate to view the images.

They aren't supposed to be visible, they are links. README is a plain text, not a markdown one. The screenshots themselves are hosted on the github as well.. here: https://github.com/nsf/nsf.github.com/tree/master/images

I'm not saying they should be visible, but clicking the links to view the images doesn't work.

Works for me, well, as I said they are hosted on the github and you can find them here: https://github.com/nsf/nsf.github.com/blob/master/images/godit-linux1.png https://github.com/nsf/nsf.github.com/blob/master/images/godit-linux2.png

But I use a custom .ru domain. Probably your ISP filters it or something. I asked a bunch of guys on IRC to check them out, works fine. That is the problem is not on my side.

[danielb2]

That's interesting. Below is what I see

[nsf]

Well, if you are at work or something, that clearly looks like a filter which does some sort of blocking. As I said, all nosmileface.ru domain does is pointing at github's static pages repo. It cannot run any services on port 6081 and such. Try other .ru web sites, it should make picture clear.

[danielb2]

The odd thing is that it is nosmileface.ru which is prompting for password. Anyway, to keep this thread going isn't worth it. It's your call.

[nsf]

No, it's not. The browser shows you that. Your ISP is free to redirect incoming connections to whatever service it wishes.

[danielb2]

I'm just say'n it's odd that it would redirect only that domain to a port on the same domain. Doesn't happen with any other domain.

[nsf]

Yes it's odd indeed. You know what, I've been looking at the github pages help page regarding custom domains and for some reason it has a different IP there now. So I'll reconfigure my domain DNS settings and let you know when changes are propagated (takes a couple of hours usually). Perhaps it'll solve the issue.

[nsf]

The IP it was pointed at is certainly belongs to github as well: http://whois.net/ip-address-lookup/207.97.227.245

And here's their new suggested IP: http://whois.net/ip-address-lookup/204.232.175.78

Looks more recent. Who knows what they do there. Anyways.. settings are applied, waiting for DNS caches to propagate.

[danielb2]

Yepp, that did it. Images are loading fine now :+1:

[nsf]

Good, but my DNS server is still resolving to the old IP. But if it works, great.
