HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Re: Feature request: resolve IP / restric access on provider/city/state

Hi

well I just thought it would be nice to block/allow certain cities. But of course it's possible to display the location of the person using Google Maps and the tiny script / macro you supplied.

HI

this looks nice already. Is it possible insert the IP address of the person I clock on at the appropiate place (for a "newby" to HFS there are a lot of scripting posssibilities, so please excuse this questiuoin if the answer is obvious)?

Hi

well, getting the information (just a few lines from a webpage) should be no problem - just open the http://.. parse the lines, done.
I see the problem with the data not being available, but it would make things a little more secure: I really do not need any chinese IP addresses on my server if I want to publish some pictures for my family.

Hi

when you use the hostip service (for example with this URL: http://api.hostip.info/get_html.php?ip=213.196.230.56&position=true ) you get Country, City and state information.
Maybe it could be possible to have a button (right click option) to recolve a visitors directly this way. The Result could be requested and displayed in HFS.
Also: The result could be used to define who can access the server: In the example (URL) above: Maybe only people from Cologne an access it....

Similar: Allow/Deny access for people from a certain provider! In my case for example I am using netcologne - which is some information easy to obtain (who is ... my-ip). Great if it was possible to allow/deny access from a certain provider...
