CI / build (push) Successful in 45s
The client sends it every HTTP request and its IMQ connection; it makes them with current TLS and certificates, upgrades IMVU's plain-HTTP hosts to HTTPS, and refuses IMVU's reporting endpoints. CI tests it and publishes t5de-proxy.exe as nightlies and tagged releases. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>

t5de-proxy
T5DE's local proxy for IMVU Classic (see README.md, docs/hosts.md). Part of T5DE; the patches and the patcher are
in the t5de repository (git.t5de.dev/t5de/t5de, usually checked out beside this one). The client side is t5de's
t5de-proxy patch (main/client.py t5deProxy*, Network.urlopen/post_multipart,
IMQConnection.__buildStrategies). A later goal is a backend of T5DE's own behind it.
Rules
- Never commit IMVU's code: no decompiled source, no captured traffic with account data. Our own declarations of IMVU's protocols (message type numbers, framing) and notes in our own words are fine.
- Test with a throwaway IMVU account, never a real one.
- Commits: author "dhkatz [email protected]"; never the user's real name or email.
- The user rejects designs that delay what's shown: the proxy streams responses and adds no waiting.
Notes
- The client's Python (2.7, OpenSSL 1.1.0f, TLS 1.2 only,
resources/cacert.pemfrom IMVU) makes every HTTP request inNetwork.urlopen, including the embedded browser's: Gecko 1.9.2's http/https protocol handlers are replaced by IMVU'sPythonProtocolHandler(imvugecko.dll), which callsNetwork.performGeckoRequest. No IMVU native code makes HTTP requests (Flash andIMVUQualityAgent.exeaside). - The log leaves out queries unless tracing (
-trace,T5DE_PROXY_TRACE=1in the client's environment): they can hold session values. Never log headers or bodies. - t5de's
tools/drive.pystarts the built client, takes screenshots, clicks, and sendsimvu:commands (showMode?mode=shop, ...), so the proxy can be tested in the real client without a person; the test account's saved login signs in by itself. The log is%TEMP%\t5de-proxy.log.
