URL parse problems

Open dalb8 opened this issue 11 years ago • 6 comments

  • http://bx7zrcsebkma7ids.onion and other onion sites don't load
  • anything with "." is interpreted as a URL; e.g. "site:dogecoin.com such" gives La page Web à l'adresse http://site:dogecoin.com such est peut-être temporairement inaccessible ou a été déplacée définitivement

  • onion sites don't load, how do they not load? Also, make sure you're running Tint trough your Tor proxy, or it won't work (either by manual proxy setting, or by root transparent proxy)
  • anything in the form "protocol:domain" (such as "site:dogecoin.com") is interpreted as a valid URL (because is actually is), so that's intended behaviour. However, since the URL bar is also a search bar, the space should trigger the web-search rather than direct URL access.

I'm sure the Tor proxy is working as I verified my IP address has changed and it works with another browser, Firefox I think it was. The .onion address shows Android's "Page Web non disponible"

Firefox can be configured to use Tor (through an addon IIRC), but making Firefox go through tor doesn't mean Tint does. Open up Tint and go to https://check.torproject.org/?lang=fr, and see if, indeed, Tint uses Tor or not. I think you are misunderstanding how a Tor proxy behaves on your device; only certain apps go though it, not your whole system (except if you're using root transparent proxying).

Yea, Tint is using Tor via Orbot according to that site.

Just tried to access http://bx7zrcsebkma7ids.onion using Orbot + Transparent Proxying with Tint; works perfectly. Are you connecting to Tor in another way than this?

Yes, I only use transparent (root) proxying too. Latest commit of both, Tint v1.8 and Orbot v13.0.5. Now it seems Firefox wont load onion urls either...
