I noticed yesterday that sometimes I was seeing a strange url passing at the
bottom of the browser when clicking around my site I'm working on while
watching the page loads, its calling to mouserunner.com and I went to the
site and it is a bunch of links, my site is on a private server for a large
media company, clues on what this means and where to look to stop it, what's
it doing scraping my site or something?

Thanks folks...

Are you using some of their content on your site? You may not realise
it's come from them, it could be some Javascript you've found online and
used on your site. It's more than likely just a call-back script to
register a 'hit' along with other details.

As for scraping your sites content, there is no way to prevent this. If
your content is viewable for a human, it's viewable for a computer.

Would you mind posting a link so we can see what you're seeing?

Copying the list back in on this.

You still haven't mentioned if you were using any scripts you sourced
from elsewhere? Have you performed a search on the server in question
for any files containing a link to that website?

Do a search on all the files for that site. I'm guessing you'll find
something in a .js file somewhere.

Hi Ash!
My site isn't an outside app, it's an in house work order app hosted
on our corporate servers, I was working on it yesterday and caught a
glimpse in the bottom of the browser where you can see page loads , I
kept seeing a www.mouserunner.com in there and was wondering what the
hell...I googled and visited the site and found no other post anywhere
complaining about this site or if it was a hacker/phishing site...

no scripts that i've found, I inherited this app, and its about 57 pages
1200 lines each and I don't have access to the server corp rules...

--- Begin Message --- I'm not much for running PHP on Windows, but I thought that many of the performance issues had been worked out...

However, I'm trying to run a PHP through CLI and having a terrible experience with speed. This is running Windows Server 2008 (with a Quad-Core Intel, 4 GB of RAM).

My problem in particular is a small script that bzread()s from a large-ish (104 MB) file, and throws some data into a sqlite db.

It's not really hitting any resource limits that I know of - the PHP process isn't even using 3% CPU, and RAM usage is minimal... it's just... slow.

It's not even just this script. It's not doing it now, but when I was playing around with it last night, it was taking quite a bit to execute small echo statements from reading stdin from the php process (although 'php -qa' doesn't exhibit this behavior)

Anyway, Windows processes about 4,000 rows per minute, while Linux does 10.6K. I know I shouldn't expect much out of the platform, but this just straight CLI, I figured it would be at least respectably similar.

Any insight?
Thanks!

No, I don't. The reason is that I use subversion and I always get a
message when I don't leave the last line empty.
So I kind of have to leave the <?php Tag opened.
I once read that this is even recommended by the PHP developers... Has
anyone got a quote for me about this?

Hey there,
First off I'd like to thank the Magento module's author for the support.

The canada post shipping module now works!

The problem was a little bit different then I saw in other posts and forums.

Basically, the curl function wouldn't connect to the
sellonline.canadapost.ca system on the desired port (30000).

In the curl section of code, we set opts.. and in the opts... we set the URL
and the port #. For some reason this would not work.


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PORT, $port);

So.... what ended up working was to add the port directly to the url and
comment out the port option..

// basically this is what is being passed to the URL opt
$url = 'http://sellonline.canadapost.ca:30000';
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

// and comment out the port opt
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PORT, $port);


So, after some diggin' around on curl.... and great support by module's
author.... problem solved. Canada Post shipping module now works.
