Kerbal Stuff, an open-source Space Port replacement


SirCmpwn

Recommended Posts

Have enough to cover the new cert, feel free to send more if a wildcard cert is in the cards. Not sure what to do with more subdomains yet, though.

Some ideas in my head:

api.kerbalstuff.com (useful because it can control request limits without completely blocking access to the site)

cdn.kerbalstuff.com (image cache, etc.)

blog.kerbalstuff.com (something simple, WordPress or a quick hack)

status.kerbalstuff.com

Less intelligent ideas in my head:

[your secret easter egg].kerbalstuff.com

www.www.kerbalstuff.com (bet the cert doesn't cover this ;))

users.kerbalstuff.com (useful for support mailing lists, so that email gets redirected to project managers. Just an idea.)

ftp.kerbalstuff.com (I mean even Microsoft has an FTP, right??)

gopher.kerbalstuff.com (-1 rep)

tracker.kerbalstuff.com (in case you want to P2P download your mods..)

That's it for now...

You mentioned the certificate was bought, but the site is inaccessable because the connection cannot be secured. Quite bad timing if I may say so, because I was just about to launch the latest update to my mod.

Can you explain more about how you're connecting to Kerbal Stuff? I am able to access it without any problems on the new certificate.

Update your antivirus and your browser and you should be ok. Once I did that there was no longer a connection problem.

There may be a few people who don't have the intermediate RapidSSL SHA256 CA - G4 certificate needed to validate the Kerbal Stuff certificate. This is a relatively new intermediate cert and there may be some people using outdated browsers, OS configs, or in some cases online security monitors who don't have it yet. Here's one complaint earlier along these lines--but updating Chrome seemed to resolve the issue.

My recommendation to CaptRobau is to check for browser updates, and if you're using Windows and IE, make sure you have all security updates installed.

Some antivirus and Internet security applications may also need updating as they often replace the original certificate with their own for intercepting malicious web-based attacks. (I dislike such things but will leave it at that.)

How did you post before I did!? Oh, right, I forgot to hit "post".... :wink:

I'm probably having an X-Files moment, but...

Over the past few days I've noticed a big increase (inexplicably) in the number of downloads on the mods I have hosted on Kerbal Stuff (except Custom Clusters.. even sinister forces hate that one, apparently). This by itself is not a bad thing, however it appears to be the oldest version available of each mod that is experiencing the spike. It started on Monday, 8-31.

http://kerbalstuff.com/mod/723/Heat%20Management

http://kerbalstuff.com/mod/973/Vanguard%20Astrodynamics%20VX%20Series%20Stockalike%20Engine%20Pack

http://kerbalstuff.com/mod/996/Kinetic%20Penetrator%20by%20Vanguard%20Astrodynamics

The VX series and Heat Management were both relatively recently updated so that's not entirely unusual, but the Kinetic Penetrator hasn't been, and the "Event" is most noticeable in it's statistics. It's gone from 10-20 downloads a day to 172 since 8-31, but again, the oldest version available which is really weird in this case. And it's not just my stuff.

http://kerbalstuff.com/mod/1052/Lithobrake%20Exploration%20Technologies

http://kerbalstuff.com/mod/338/SXT%20-%20Stock%20eXTension

It's a little less obvious with those more impressive download statistics, but it's there. So, is there a sinister plot afoot or is there some sort of odd reporting error going on?

I've noticed the same: here, here, and here are some examples.

Usually the current version's downloads remain relatively consistent, but an older, usually the oldest, version starts getting a huge number of downloads every day.

Of course, it might not have anything to do with Kerbal Stuff, maybe some bot is just downloading lots of copies of old versions of KSP mods for some reason.

I don't really care so much about the absolute download numbers, but I do like to check the general trends from time to time.

SirCmpwn,

I've been trying to muddle out how the CKAN integration works on KS.

I have a mod, (https://kerbalstuff.com/mod/781/Super%20Heavy%20Boosters%20Historical%20-%20Nexus) that is listed on CKAN (which is pretty awesome work on your part, seeing I had not touched CKAN at all until yesterday), but it's the 0.9 build. And it won't update. I've made some changes to try and get things updated, but can't figure out what I need to do to get the mod to update CKAN.

I'm a complete n00b as far as CKAN goes. I do have an install (as of yesterday) and have mucked about trying to get the Nexus to update, but it's pretty well stuck on 0.9. My guess at what's going on is that whatever fancy cleverness you did to list mods happened when my mod was at 0.9, and that's what's listed. But that the mod itself is badly formed for CKAN, so never updates. To make matters worse, the zip for 0.9 seems to be the daftest of folder structures ever. I have no idea how drunk I was when I built that file.

Got it working via github yanky pully things. Please ignore this.

Hey, could you remove a mod pack I made while messing around. I didn't realize that it couldn't be deleted. It is here.

Are you actually logged in? I have an option to delete my mods if I visit them while logged in under the account I uploaded them as.

I'm also getting untrusted cert errors when trying to connect via firefox. My browser and antivirus (avast) are both up to date. It doesn't do it in IE, but i don't particularly want to use IE for anything. I've added an exception in Avast, I think this is a problem specifically with firefox. Does anybody else have any ideas? I'm really only getting this error with kerbalstuff, every other site I visit regularly is fine.

It is a mod pack, not a mod.

Change

https://kerbalstuff.com/[whatever]

to

http://www.kerbalstuff.com/[whatever]

I'm not sure why it's default is SSL in the first place but it isn't necessary. (Don't overlook the fact I changed https to http)
