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 <dev@t5de.dev>"; 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.pem` from IMVU) makes every HTTP
|
|
request in `Network.urlopen`, including the embedded browser's: Gecko 1.9.2's http/https protocol handlers are
|
|
replaced by IMVU's `PythonProtocolHandler` (imvugecko.dll), which calls `Network.performGeckoRequest`. No IMVU
|
|
native code makes HTTP requests (Flash and `IMVUQualityAgent.exe` aside).
|
|
- The log leaves out queries unless tracing (`-trace`, `T5DE_PROXY_TRACE=1` in the client's environment): they
|
|
can hold session values. Never log headers or bodies.
|
|
- t5de's `tools/drive.py` starts the built client, takes screenshots, clicks, and sends `imvu:` 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`.
