Stuffies

Every single page on FetLife.com now has a publicly visible mirror. A simple URL substitution pattern can be used to make an arbitrary FetLife page visible to everyone.

• Replace https://fetlife.com with http://fetlife.maybemaimed.com/proxy.php?page=

So, for example, to see the events page, ordinarily at:

• https://fetlife.com/events

Simply point your browser to:

• http://fetlife.maybemaimed.com/proxy.php?page=/events

This works on any arbitrary content within FetLife, as well. For instance, to view the group post at:

• https://fetlife.com/groups/53559/group_posts/2811205

Simply point your browser to:

• http://fetlife.maybemaimed.com/proxy.php?page=/groups/53559/group_posts/2811205

See the pattern?

If you’re savvy, you can download the code and run a copy of this proxy on your own website, too.

Enjoy.

Maymay’s been talking about the security problems with Fetlife for quite some time without it causing the stir it needed to, but I’m far from pleased he did this.
