Does not work anymore

[francesco74]

Some changes in google sites make the proxy not working anymore, redirecting to google sites home page

Hi Francesco74,

Thanks for the feedback. Google changed a few things in Google Sites and Go-Google-Sites-Proxy was impacted. A temporary patch is being tested on https://ggsp.fever.ch/ and some others sites.

Cheers,

Raphaël

@francesco74 It seems google has added some code to that JS file to check its own integrity:

https://www.gstatic.com/_/atari/_/js/k=atari.vw.en_US.A9bve80bs0s.O/rt=j/d=1/rs=AGEqA5l1ILRT52ijkqpDvueTFq7woUdQYw/m=view

It redirects the page if the location is not on google.com or perhaps if the script itself has been included with a different src. You will see different behavior if you strip out that <script> from the HTML, curl it locally, and load it in the same place with a src pointing to the local file. It will throw Error and trigger _._DumpException(e) which needs to be changed to window._DumpException(e) to see the stack trace. The error strings are cryptic like throw Error("kb"):

e||(e=document.getElementsByTagName("script"),e=FA(e[e.length-1].src));if(!e)throw Error("kb");e=new AA(e);

The same script is loaded on both https://demo.lexnetcrm.com/ and https://sites.google.com/view/go-gsites-proxy so this same script is served up for a custom domain.

@rbarazzutti If you're working on a patch, can you tell us where to find it?

EDIT:

The redirection also appears to break the wayback machine and even google's own cache:

• https://web.archive.org/save/https://sites.google.com/view/go-gsites-proxy
• google cache

Here, I made a proxy that works (only tested local):

EDIT:

FYI, this hack replaces a string in the _at_config variable, which stops the site from reloading.
