WikiPing
recentchanges.net is dead
We had seen it coming - but still hoped it was not true: some time in July of this year, the domain record for recentchanges.net was updated and the expiry date was set at 30 July 2005. The domain was not renewed. Also, all (other) websites owned by DreckFehler had been taken offline a while ago, and a dig showed there were no MX records for any of those domains (even if they still resolved) so sending mails would not succeed either.As of today, 8 August 2005, the WikiPing server at recentchanges.net no longer responds to requests for a recent changes RSS feed. Since quite a few Wiki owners pinged the server with changes and probably many more people had subscribed to the RSS feed, a replacement WikiPing server would be welcome... --JavaWoman
2007-08-19: changed references to no-longer-existing recentchanges.net to equivalent links on the WayBack machine to make the references on this page at least somewhat usable... of course there is no WikiPing server active at that domain any more.
-- JavaWoman
the whole wikiping-specification is still beta and any suggestion how to improve this idea is welcomed!
Add a server
To send a Ping , you have to add one or more wikiping-servers in your ConfigurationOptions config. By default, the entry is empty and the service inactive.
In the case of recentchanges.net, the address iswas:
http://recentchanges.net/rpc/wikiping.php
NOTE: not active any more! --JavaWoman
"wikiping_server" => "http://recentchanges.net/rpc/wikiping.php",
Note that the adress must point to the RPC handler page of the server.
