IP address http request

Russell-Evans · 09-22-2009, 10:29 PM

To get around DPR's blocking of PentaxForums, I've been posting URLs with the web server's IP address.

Such as
http://74.86.168.180/forums/pentax-d...dm-lenses.html

It seems the web server is rewriting requests and adding www.

Could this please be fixed?

Thank you

I'll see what I can do about it.

Since the replacement was handled via PHP and not .htaccess, I managed to fix this quickly by adding a conditional. The www. should still be forced into regular URLs, however.

They block PF explicitly?

Weird...

I think they got jealous that we rank higher than them on Google if you search for Pentax forum...
