Uzerus_ has joined #urlteam Uzerus_: ok Somebody2: So, I'm not following what you are asking yet... Uzerus_: warrior is asking the tracker every 10-400 sec for file, what contain list of urls to check Somebody2: The warrior requests a group of (generally 50) short URLs from the tracker. Then the warrior requests each short URL from the shortening service... Uzerus_: but tracker usually returns 404 Somebody2: AH, I se what you mean now!
OK, yes, I can explain that.
We limit each Warrior to only working on one batch of URLs from each shortening service at once, and we limit the total number ... Uzerus_: ah, to not overload service Somebody2: ... of warriors that can work on a particular shortening service (to avoid overwhelming it) Uzerus_: cos it'll be ddos :D Somebody2: Yep!
And we don't have enough people investigating new services to soak up the amount of warrior power available. Uzerus_: ew, i can search for some services Somebody2: We have a big list of services that we could add, if someone took the time to investigate them.
Great, thank you!
The basic info we need is documented on the wiki page.
It's basically -- what alphabet of characters is used in the short code, what HTTP status code is returned. Uzerus_: you mean that service.com/somerandom[a-A,0-9]buthowmany? Somebody2: Yeah, bascially. Uzerus_: it can be different than random?
f.e. every 3rd and 10 letter is big... ? Somebody2: It can, but we don't generally care. Uzerus_: ah, so you expect converting the /randomthings Somebody2: What we care about is if it doesn't include digits, or is case-insenstive, or something like that. Uzerus_: ok, but it probably is not for today Somebody2: Sounds good -- no hurry.
