referer: junomsg://

My web server examines the the referer to deny deep linking to images on my sites, so I get log messages about that. When I browsed the logs today a few of those log lines caught my eye. They looked like this:

client denied by server configuration: /directory/image, referer: junomsg://028985E8/

(I replaced the filesystem path to the image with /directory/image.)

What kind of protocol is junomsg? I did some research and it seems like this comes from the “Juno offline email client”. Someone probably received a link to my site by mail and the offline client seems to run in Internet Explorer. Case closed.

    Both Google USA and Google Europe visit my website numerous times per week…sometimes up to six or eight times per day…they do delete some youtube videos when they don’t agree with my commentary.

    1. But the worst enemy you can encounter will always be you, yourself; you lie in wait for yourself in caves and woods.

      ~ Friedrich Nietzsche from Thus Spoke Zarathustra

  4. And what did Rabbit say? “We have found the enemy and the enemy is us.” (or something like that.)
    Big Brother is watching…especially when we are not looking! He is called, “The Enemy Within”

    Norm

    ps: The only Nietzsche quote I remember is, “All credibility, all good conscience, all evidence of truth come only from the senses.”

  5. pps

    speaking of the enemy within…do you remember this one?

    “A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies in the heart of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murder is less to fear.
    The traitor is the plague…” Marcus Tullius Cicero, speech to the Roman Senate.

  6. pps again…

    Just in case I do not respond, it’s because I’ll be on the road for the next few days…
    headed to Cape Cod for Thanksgiving and Christmas…ciao
