So the proper page would be sent.

But not named as a domain - which as you noted, was not supposed to work.

If somebody else wants to test for this - do
  • Ensure your Kindle's browser has Internet access (however is normal for yourself)
  • Put the jb file from the jb.zip archive in the root of user storage (alongside the 'document' folder)
    Note: If you intend to do a 'factory reset' - put the file in-place AFTER doing the 'reset'.
    (Some people have reported that the 'factory reset' is not required.)
  • Do the 'eject/safely remove', un-plug cable dance
  • in the Kindle's browser go-to openplayer.org
    You will get the same starting page that you would when accessing that public server by IP address

The question is if it will jailbreak your Kindle this way.

If that fails, then try the domain/jb url given in the post above.

Please report on what happens in both cases.
