And thank you, too

We just enabled upload of Perl (.pl) files.

If you opened a proxy server of say: http://ids.mobileread.com:8080 we could set that as our proxy in an iLiad "mobileread" profile and you could serve content by having the proxy point ids.irexnet.com to ids.mobileread.com:80.
I have tried this. I have written a mini-ids server as a mod-perl handler. It parses the XML sent by the Iliad and sends back appropriate responses - just handles Ping, GetServerURI and GetUpgradeSoftware at the moment - but these should be enough to see if the concept works.

I ran this server on my LAN and connected the Iliad to it through a squid proxy.

Although it works fine with the web2ids software, and (as far as I can tell) the responses and headers are identical to the ones sent back by the real IDS server, the Iliad won't play ball. It believes that it has found IDS, sends several Ping requests, then gives up with an error in download message.

I can only guess that it doesn't like my self-signed SSL cert. If anybody has any ideas about how I can pursue this one further or anything I might have missed, I'd be pleased to hear from you. Happy to give access to my server if it would be useful.

The XML responses from Web2iDS are not complete. We'd have to dig further and see what the iLiad sends to the server and what it receives in return to write a working proxy.

So has anybody kept a full transcript of a conversation between Iliad and ids including all headers?

BTW, in case you were wondering, I have been sitting quietly waiting for the SDK for 3 months. Now I am fed up with waiting. Maybe we won't have an SDK until after Christmas. Even then it will most likely be highly restricted and won't let us do what we want to. So I am poking around again

Sure - here it is. I didn't post before because it is uncommented, hacky, and contains unrelated bits of other stuff I'm working on. Still - if you can live with that then you're welcome

The .pl files should actually be .pm - but this extension isn't on the allowed list - sorry Alexander!

I'm resurrecting this dead thread because it's got some stuff very relevant to current work in iLiadOS. Thanks to Thomas for pointing it out. If you're interested in working on making a community iDS server, this is the place to discuss it!
