Hotline Webring

This can only mean one thing!

For more on what exactly this is and how to join the webring, please visit the homepage.

Getting Started

Set up the repo:

$ ./bin/setup

Run the app using Heroku Local:

$ heroku local

Run the specs:

$ bin/drake spec

Removing a site from the webring

Use Redirection#unlink:

irb> redirection = Redirection.find_by(slug: "whatever")
irb> redirection.unlink

This will destroy the Redirection and re-link its ring neighbors, sealing the breach.

Blocking

When blocking a URL, specify the bare URL, without http or www subdomain.

To block everything from evil.com but none of its subdomains:

BlockedReferrer.create!(host_with_path: "evil.com")

To block everything under the /one/ directory (evil.com/one/*), but not the root (for example, to block a user directory):

BlockedReferrer.create!(host_with_path: "good.com/~evil")

To block a subdomain:

BlockedReferrer.create!(host_with_path: "evil.good.com")
