In case of a DNS outage, we're doomed.
- rachelbythebay 14y agoOkay, so bring on my half-baked "evil http" URI scheme. "ehttp://174.132.225.106,news.ycombinator.com/ http://174.132.225.106,news.ycombinator.com/ would give you both the IP address and Host: header to send. Of course, you have to know good values for both fields or none of this matters. I mostly meant this as something silly, but it turns out that people who do work on staging or dev versions of sites with certain hostname requirements might actually find it useful. I originally wrote about it here: http://rachelbythebay.com/w/2011/12/17/nondns/ http://rachelbythebay.com/w/2011/12/17/nondns/
