### RWOS Status Detector
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- :white_check_mark: site up
|
|
|
|
|
- :eight_spoked_asterisk: site up, and redirected to another page
|
|
|
|
|
- :no_entry_sign: site up, but could not access the page
|
|
|
|
|
- :stop_sign: site up, but reported a system error
|
|
|
|
|
- :sos: site returned no data, or is down, or curl experienced a
|
|
|
|
|
transient network error
|
|
|
|
|
- :new: site is newly added, no data yet
|

### Codes & Exit Statuses
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mouse-over the icons for details of HTTP codes, curl exit statuses,
|
|
|
|
|
and the number of attempts made on each site.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- codes [are from HTTP and are documented elsewhere](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes); RWOS-internal ones include:
|
|
|
|
|
- `901`, `902`, `903` - malformed HTTP response
|
|
|
|
|
- `904` - HTTP status code parse error
|
|
|
|
|
- `910` - connection timeout
|
|
|
|
|
- exits [are from Curl and are documented elsewhere](https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html); common ones include:
|
|
|
|
|
- `7` - "curl couldn't connect"
|
|
|
|
|
- `52` - "curl got nothing", received no data from upstream
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### TLS Security
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Due to the fundamental protocol differences between `HTTP` and
|
|
|
|
|
`HTTPS`, it is not wise to consider HTTP-over-Onion to be "as secure
|
|
|
|
|
as HTTPS"; web browsers **do** and **must** treat HTTPS requests in
|
|
|
|
|
ways that are fundamentally different to HTTP, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- with respect to cookie handling, or
|
|
|
|
|
- where the trusted connection terminates, or
|
|
|
|
|
- how to deal with loading embedded insecure content, or
|
|
|
|
|
- whether to permit access to camera and microphone devices (WebRTC)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
...and the necessity of broad adherence to web standards would make it
|
|
|
|
|
harmful to attempt to optimise just one browser (e.g. Tor Browser) to
|
|
|
|
|
elevate HTTP-over-Onion to the same levels of trust as HTTPS-over-TCP,
|
|
|
|
|
let alone HTTPS-over-Onion. Doubtless some browsers will *attempt* to
|
|
|
|
|
implement "better-than-default trust and security via HTTP over
|
|
|
|
|
onions", but this behaviour will not be **standard**, cannot be
|
|
|
|
|
**relied upon** by clients/users, and will therefore be **risky**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**tl;dr** - HTTP-over-Onion should not be considered as secure as
|
|
|
|
|
HTTPS-over-Onion, and attempting to force it thusly will create a
|
|
|
|
|
future compatibility mess for the ecosystem of onion-capable browsers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- :wrench: semi-secure HTTP Onion site, protected by Onion circuits at
|
|
|
|
|
best; will not respect browser secure/HTTPS behaviour
|
|
|
|
|
- :closed_lock_with_key: secure HTTPS Onion site, protected by both
|
|
|
|
|
Onion circuits and TLS, will respect browser secure/HTTPS behaviour
