Brian replicates the portal database in realtime local to where his RIP server is and uses
the live database to populate the routing announcements. I'm not sure how often the
RIP software polls the database, but I'm sure Brian can enlighten us...
I'm in the process of adding the portal code to a subversion repository and once that
has been completed I will probably open source it. In the meantime if anyone wants to
assist with developing the portal code or with translations into other languages, please
get in touch.
Thanks,
Chris

Hey Chris,
Do you know how timely the multicast RIP announcements are? Are they sent out every time
someone re-configures a gateway on the portal? Is there some scheduled re-broadcast of
all routes?
Also, where is the source code for all this?
Thanks for any details,
--Bart

http://hamradio.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/44net Second issue:
This is not a bug, this is
intentional. I have been re-writing sections of the portal to enhance security following
several hacking attempts. One insecure script I found when I audited the system was the
getdata.php script. It has been re-written to be secure, You should not have been able to
access the encap file directly from it in the first place, that kind of access was never
documented, nor was it ever intended to be used like that.
The correct way to access the encap file remotely by script, is via FTP. I have had a
couple of people asking about an API which I may introduce at a later stage, but for now
you should access the encap file via FTP.
Regards,
Chris
Something changed with the encap file download
process. The script
that builds our IPIP tunnels uses "curl
https://portal.ampr.org/getdata.php" to download the encap data. A few
days ago this was working just fine. Now the returned file is empty.
Loading that url with a web browser also returns an empty page.
However, if I click the "download encap" link at
https://portal.ampr.org/gateways_list.php, it works fine. Some funky
session bug, I assume.
Please fix this issue, or point me towards the documentation that
explains a better way to get the encap data.
