AOL proxy and Ips

[Stryper]

We are writing a php script for a search engine site.
But we are having problems with AOL IPs.
When a person searches for something he is with 1 IP - then the search engine returns the results - he clicks on one of them and he has a new IP.

And the script blocks him

We don't know what to do.
The programmer told me that he will create a script only for AOL users - so the script will not block them but he needs AOL IPS.
I found the AOl official page http://webmaster.info.aol.com/proxyinfo.html

But those Ips are not enough.

After I added all of them I have 20 more AOl IPs.
I also saw that Compuserve uses AOL too.
Can you advice us where we can find more AOl IPs?

hmmm. PHP you say? head pf to phpbuilder.com. I think that that has got to be the number 1 best resources for PHP. Industry leaders hang out there all the time. best of luck!

I think what he wants is a list of AOL IPs, which are extremely hard to find.

 

[iDeviseFlash]

as in? like, IP's of AOL servers or somtin? I bet you could make a crawler that goes out and maps them, but youd have to know where they are, lol.

no he requires a list of ip's that AOL's clients get assigned when surfing.

ahh, . I c now. well, umm, find a friend that was AOL, then check that range and if they are all AOL's, then thats an AOL one. i guess you could sniff the range if you were desperate enough, but why do you want these again? It might be public knowledge, because AOL had to reserve those IP's yes?

1 probnlem being tho is that alot of public IP databases are quite out of date and as AOL state on their page the ranges change regularly.

 

[iDeviseFlash]

darn. inside connection then, lol.

Ask AOL. They might, to stay secure, input the IP's in the databases, and then encode it or encrypt, but it never hurts to ask, or you could just...never mind, we will stay legal here
