[Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

I have had a dream, opera mini on the n900.
And three brave Russian guy helped me realize my dream (©S0d
®Ale}{(is) ®Voobsche).
They wrote an intermediate proxy server (on python) that can connect to the opera mini server, and minimize traffic.

Here's a quick tutorial:
1) Download the OMPD - tHE oPERA mINI Proxy (python 2.5 required)

2) Unpack archive anywhere.

3) Run server with command: python ./ompd.pyc -d (without gainroot)

4) Go on localchost:8080 Check availability, make the necessary adjustments.

5) Go to the "expensive" :) connection settings(setting>>internet connections>>connections>>"expensive" connection>> edit >>next>>next>>advanced>>proxies), GPRS in my case, and and in the Http proxy enter: 127.0.0.1 port 8080

6) All your browsers will work through operamini proxy (Opera Mobile and MicroB works fine, others not tested)
and you have the cache

Everyone a good day!

That's really cool, won't have to worry about slow connections when out and about.
Thanks

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

That's right, buddy, that's right.

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

Any screenshots on actual results on a website?

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

Actually you can have the real opera mini on your n900, through the use of microemulator. Several guides detail how to on talk.maemo.org.

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

It's not linux way))

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

can explain easyer step 3 and 4 :)

i am a noob :o:o

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

how's this proxy different from a proxy like squid?

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

i cant understand step3 and 4

any buddy explain easy for me ? :(

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

FWIW, ALL data for your set connection will attempt to be sent through this proxy. You might want to re-think doing this.

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

Can somebody please post a n00b guide for n00bs starting with how to install python2.6 till how to open the browser? I'll really appreciate this.

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

anyone? i really need this!

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

3) open consol, go to the ompd directory (if you don't know how you can do that, read this manual) write python ./ompd.pyc -d

4) in any browser adress line write localhost:8080

6) be happy)

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

How do I know this is safe? I don't wanto to offend the OP of course but - you know - the internets are a wild place - and I tried to look at the source but it's compiled and I don't know how to turn it in a readable form... So?

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

oh I don't seems to find python 2.6 for n900. checked fapman, maemo.org/packages and nothing yet. is that brisa thing a python package, I don't think so. googling as of now for python, after that I am sure I can do rest of the steps.

Edit:http://ompd-proxy.narod.ru/distrib/py/linux.rar for python 2.5 and I guess it is in pr 1.3 by default or at least mine got 2.5.2

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

Oh, I'm so sorry, it's my fault.

enough version 2.5

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

python /home/user/apps/ompd/ompd/pyc -d

RuntimeError: Bad magic number in .pyc file


Running python 2.5.4

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

I actually got magic number error thing in the file link you have provided while executing command python .....

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

python /home/user/apps/ompd/ompd.pyc -d
Are you sure that is spelled correctly?

If not, try this.

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

There is two linux version of this programm
for Unix-like system, python v2.5
and
for Unix-like system, python v2.6, (r) nds

I have python 2.5.2 on my n900, and ompd version for python 2.6 working successfully.

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

Couldn't one just go and install fAPN from Applications Manager and create a clone of the regular connection and then modify it?

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

Probably can, if you write a manual I am inserting it into the cap.
I've never used fAPN.

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

No need to write a new one. See the talk and the homepage. It's in Extras (stable, I mean), you can install it from there and customize the new connection.

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

Ok, thank you, I will try to use fAPN.

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

You can also load any page without reconfiguring the proxy settings:

http://localhost:8080/http://talk.maemo.org

Layout uses Mobile view. Is there a way to configure it to use full page view?

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

As I understand it, operamini works in layoutmode (Mobile view) only.

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

Unfortunately it seems to have issues loading any threads from the main TMO page.

Love the concept of this, but it's not ready yet, will wait until it gets to the point of supporting OM Protocol 4 (full screen view) and give it another try.

Till then, it's still MicroEmulator and OperaMini 4.2 for me.

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

Unfortunately the OMPD python project is frozen back in 2009... ((

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

still need a simple guide, please?

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

I had number of issues with this as well, I was unable to login to tmo, it just take me to click if not redirected page and clicking it takes to me same page. Plus there are number of instances where error msgs are displayed.

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

@eVrajka: I would recommend contacting the authors to see if they are interested in picking up the project again. If not then at least release the original .py files for someone else who is interested in continuing the project to use the OM4 protocol for full-page rendering.

Looking at the error messgages at the terminal, the proxy did not pick up or include the '&' symbol in the url's used on TMO threads.

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

Is there any people interested in further project development and ready to take part in OM4 protocol reverse engeneering?

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

Is there anybody who was able to use this in 2016? localhost:8080/site and osmget.pyc/osmauth.pyc just throws errors.

Re: [Tutorial]Traffic minimization with Opera-mini proxy, without opera-mini
 

It looks like it uses Opera Mini 2.x-3.x servers.
Unfortunately, they have been shut down some time ago.
