This has been pointed out on the lists and the wiki. They are not blocking the image itself. They are not even intercepting the upload.wikimedia.org traffic. As far as we are aware are blocking only two URL, the article and the image description pages. The matches appear to be exact matches, all of the above proposed evasions work. The image shows fine when placed in other articles. Of course, we can't know what else is being done: Other pages could be blocked, perhaps logs of everything you view are being sold to the highest bidder? Can't know. We just know that ISPs are running servers which pretend to be Wikimedia's IP, which capture the traffic and produce fake error messages for at least two URLs. That may be all we'll ever know. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
