    I'm wondering for what purpose one would be interested in finding out if a site is hosted in Iran or not.

      Im guessing - its for some protest action? ... but really I have NO IDEA.

    This behavior only works when the reverse proxy or CDN is configured like this:

    Proxy/CDN: HTTPS (443) → Origin server: plain HTTP (80)

    (example: Cloudflare in Flexible mode)

    If the origin server uses any proper TLS configuration, even a self-signed certificate, this method stops working. It only succeeds when the upstream connection to the origin is unsecured.

    If you want to test this on a random site without Cloudflare or reverse proxy in general on HTTP: curl http://www.digiboy.ir/boobs.jpg -v

    Does anyone have sample sites that return this?

      Also interested in a sample site where the request successfully resolves ;)

    So presumably Iran has a reverse proxy in front of the entire internet for HTTP?

    I really want to know what's on the webpage for the iframe.

      Standard DPI firewalls can do that for you. Absolutely no issue.

      Thanks for posting this. I mostly gave up on viewing the one or two Twitter feeds that interest me after nitter stopped working. It wasn't ideological, I just wasn't able to reliably view and navigate without an account, and when I made an account it just kept showing me like "black HS football player bad sportsmanship".

      Look like I've got about two years of James Cage White story arcs to check in on.

        I don't want to have to create an account to view the full context.

        Where is the mission statement about wanting X gone?

        Like posting an archive.is link, others can actually read it. No login required for reading replays, no popups and signup nagss.

        It's easier to view the tweet, to be fair

        some people don't want to give clicks to X, no we're not done with it. It doesn't harm you does it?

            So the question is, what does a commercial website gain from people clicking on links to that website? I’m not even sure where to start to explain that one if one has to ask.
