hanime: play through a redirect proxy; the signed stream links expire

Items now carry /proxy/hanime/{slug}/{height}.m3u8, which does a fresh handshake per play and 302s to the current playlist. The handshake moved to util/hanime_resolve.rs so single-provider builds keep the route.

 | `ripnsfw` | `onlyfans` | no | yes | Leaked-creator aggregator for ripnsfw.com — the entire catalogue (~2.5k rows) is a single client-side-rendered page whose data source is a published Google Sheet exported as CSV (`GET /data.csv`, no auth/CF gate); the provider fetches and parses that CSV directly instead of scraping any HTML, replicating the site's own JS `parseCSV`/`csvSplit` column layout (`THUMB,NEW,NOME,DOODSTREAM,LULUSTREAM,<link3>,DOOD,<guests>,SITE(bunkr links),TITLE,ID,#(tags),POST,,DATE,SIZE`). Feed/search/pagination/sort are all done in-memory over the fetched rows (no native site pagination exists — `perPage`-sized pages are sliced locally), with a 180s in-process cache to avoid re-fetching the CSV on every request. `tag:`/`category:`/`cat:` and `model:`/`uploader:` query prefixes filter by the parsed tag list / model name; bare keywords substring-match model name, guests, and tags. `video.url` is the site's client-rendered `https://ripnsfw.com/model/{slug}/{id}` route — the host has no server-side SPA fallback, so this 404s to any plain HTTP client (its custom 404 page stashes the path and JS-redirects to `/`, which restores the route — works in a real browser/webview only); `check.py`'s `_CF_PROTECTED_HOSTS` allowlist includes `ripnsfw.com` for this reason. Media is never hosted on ripnsfw.com itself: each row carries a Doodstream and/or Lulustream embed link, resolved into `formats[]` (Lulustream first, matching the site's own default-player order) via the **existing, previously-unused** `src/proxies/doodstream.rs` / `src/proxies/lulustream.rs` redirect proxies (`build_proxy_url(&options, "doodstream"/"lulustream", &strip_url_scheme(link))`) — no new proxy code was written. Both proxies resolve correctly to real signed CDN URLs (verified against live data), but neither CDN's final edge is reachable from this repo's dev sandbox: Lulustream's `*.tnmr.org` edge 403s datacenter/proxy IPs regardless of UA or TLS impersonation, and Doodstream's final `*.dood.video` edge resolves to a loopback/refused address from non-residential egress — both are IP-reputation-style CDN blocks, not code defects (same class of sandbox limitation already documented for `camsoda`/`hentaihaven`/`animeidhentai`), so `check.py` allowlists both by suffix (`_CF_PROTECTED_SUFFIXES`). No thumbnail proxy needed (`cdn.ripnsfw.com/thumbs/...` is directly hotlinkable, no CF/referer gate). No `/api/uploaders` (model pages exist but have no dedicated profile/stats schema confirmed). |

+| `rule34video` | `hentai-animation` | no | no | Hentai group example. **Archives:** artists are `/models/{slug}/`, franchises/genres `/categories/{slug}/`, characters and everything else `/tags/{slug}/`; each is paged and sorted through `?mode=async&function=get_block&block_id=custom_list_videos_common_videos&sort_by={sort}&from={page}` (unknown slugs 404). Prefix queries `artist:`/`model:`/`creator:`, `category:`/`franchise:`/`series:`, `tag:`/`character:`; a bare query is probed as artist, then category, then tag, then resolved through `/search_ajax.php?tag=` (characters are tagged `name (franchise)`; an unambiguous exact base-name match wins), else keyword search. Cards are enriched from the detail page, which also yields the credited artist as `uploader` (`rule34video:{slug}`) and artist names as tags. |
 | `sextb` | `jav` | no | no | JAV family provider. sextb.net is Cloudflare-gated, so listing/pagination markdown is fetched through a hand-built Jina mirror URL (`mirror_url()`); the target is already an absolute `https://sextb.net/...` URL, so the scheme must be stripped before prepending the `https://r.jina.ai/http://` prefix — concatenating them directly (the pre-fix bug) produces a malformed `.../http://https://...` URL that Jina rejects outright. |

All tag/keyword queries go through `keywordSearch?keyword=...` (offset-paged: `pageToken=(page-1)*perPage`) — the recommended endpoint's `&tag=` param does not reliably filter, so even curated-tag requests use keywordSearch. Media: `media.url` = direct `media.icfcdn.com/*.mp4` (publicly accessible, no Referer/auth), `media.thumbUrl` thumbnail (same CDN, direct), `media.previewUrl` preview clip; both kwiky page URLs (`kwiky.com/quickies/{id}`) and the media CDN URLs pass direct `curl -I` health checks but the page URL is NOT yt-dlp-resolvable (React SPA, generic extractor fails), so `formats` are populated with the direct MP4 URL and `video.url` is the page. Aspect ratio set from `media.width`/`media.height`; `uploadedAt` from RFC3339 `created` field; uploader name/URL/ID from `creator.name` and `creator.id`. 48 curated tags from `/api/v1/gateway/v1/keywords/populartags?gender=f` exposed via `categories` filter option.

Real playback needs per-card enrichment (bounded `buffer_unordered(6)`): fetch the detail page for its 32-hex `hash`, derive the site's own hashed token (`calc_hash` — split into four 8-hex chunks, each parsed as u32 and base36-encoded, concatenated; reverse-engineered from the player JS), then call the site's own `GET /xhr/video/{alnum_id}?hash={calc}&device=generic&domain=www.eporner.com&fallback=false` JSON API for direct per-resolution mp4 URLs into `formats[]`. Separately from the hash dance, the resolved CDN mp4 URLs enforce their own Referer check: a request with no Referer or one pointing at eporner.com gets the real file, but any other non-empty Referer gets a 302 to a static `.../na.mp4` ("not available") decoy clip — the exact "this video is only available at eporner.com"-style short clip a client sees if its default (or app-injected) Referer doesn't match, so every format explicitly declares `http_headers: {Referer: "https://www.eporner.com/"}` rather than relying on the client's default. No proxy needed (formats are direct CDN URLs, just header-gated). **2026-09-21:** the `calc_hash`/hash-regex/`alnum_id_from_href`/`resolve_formats` logic moved to `src/util/eporner_resolve.rs` so `melonstube` (a meta-search aggregator that redirects out to eporner.com for ~34% of its own cards) can reuse the exact same resolution without a cross-provider `use`, which would break either provider's `HOT_TUB_PROVIDER=<id>` single-provider build (only the one selected provider module gets compiled; `src/util/*` always does). `eporner.rs` itself now just calls `crate::util::eporner_resolve::resolve_formats(...)`. |

The links are also **IP-locked**: checked from foreign networks (check-host.net nodes) a fresh link answers 302 → `na.mp4`, while the resolving IP gets the file, so a redirect only works for a player behind the server's own public IP (a Jina fetch had misleadingly suggested otherwise). Formats therefore point at the streaming proxy `/proxy/eporner/{alnum_id}/{height}.mp4`: it resolves (cached 90 min per id/height, re-resolved when the CDN answers with a redirect), forwards `Range`, and returns a sized body so `206` responses keep `Content-Length` for AVPlayer. Not a redirect proxy, so app clients keep these in `formats`. All eporner playback bandwidth now flows through the server. melonstube's eporner destinations use the same `resolve_proxied_formats`. |

Listing API (`xxxtik-api-iw98m.ondigitalocean.app`, found by grepping the Angular `main-es2015.js` bundle): `GET /post/new`, `/post/top/{week,month,year,all}`, `/post/tag/{name}`, `/post/creator/{username}` — all **cursor**-paginated (`?cursor={lastItemId}&limit=N`; the `cursor` is the numeric `id` of the last item from the previous batch, not an offset/count — reaching page N walks N sequential requests, mirroring `fikfap`'s `fetch_cursor_page`). `GET /search?query=Q` returns tag/profile autocomplete suggestions only (no posts), so free-text search is routed through it to resolve a `Tag`/`Creator` target before a second listing call; `tag:`/`category:`/`cat:` and `user:`/`uploader:`/`creator:` query prefixes skip that lookup. Each post's `source` field is a `redgifs.com/watch/{id}` URL; the provider fetches a short-lived anonymous bearer token from `POST api.redgifs.com/v2/auth/temporary` (cached, refreshed once on a 401) and resolves `GET api.redgifs.com/v2/gifs/{id}` (bounded to 8-way concurrency via `buffer_unordered`) for the real `media.redgifs.com/*.mp4` + poster, both fetchable with zero auth/Referer. `video.url` is the xxxtik page (`https://xxxtik.com/feed/{uuid}`, not yt-dlp-resolvable — Angular SPA, generic extractor fails), with `formats` populated from the resolved redgifs mp4; tags merge xxxtik's own tags with RedGifs' tags. 20 curated tags exposed via `categories` (xxxtik has ~62k tags total, too many to background-load). `/api/uploaders` works via `GET /user/by-username/{name}` + `/post/creator/{name}`, but xxxtik's "creator" accounts are inconsistent: some (e.g. `dlhoodninja`, `besttits`) return real posts matching their profile `_count.posts`; others with a nonzero `_count.posts` (e.g. `bigboobsgw`, count 472) return an empty `/post/creator/` list — likely synthetic curation accounts (`name@default` emails) rather than real uploaders.

Category archive = section `categories`, object = category dir slug (numeric ids return `category_not_found`); ~80 top categories hardcoded as the `categories` option (225 exist at `/api/json/categories/86400/str.all.en.jsond`). Search: `GET /api/videos2.php?params=86400/str/relevance/{count}/search..{page}.all..&s={query}` (relevance only; sort is ignored; page works although `params.page` echoes 1). `count` follows `perPage` (max 60). The page URL `/videos/{id}/{dir}/` is **not** yt-dlp-resolvable, so every card is enriched (bounded `buffered(8)`) via `GET /api/videofile.php?video_id={id}&lifetime=8640000`, whose `video_url` is base64 of `/get_file/...` with Cyrillic look-alike letters (А Е М С …) substituted and `~` for `=`; the decoded `https://txxx.me/get_file/...` 302s to a per-client signed `*.ahcdn.com` URL (IP-pinned, so it must NOT be resolved server-side; no Referer needed). Items without formats are dropped. Heights come from the listing `file_formats` (`||_hq.mp4|1278x720|…||_tr.mp4|…`; `_tr.mp4` is the trailer and becomes `preview` via `pv`). Rating 0..5 → ×20; `likes`/`dislikes` ignored; category titles become tags; uploader = content source else member `display_name` (`txxx:{user_id}`; no profile endpoint). Thumbs `tn.txxx.tube` direct. Queries matching a category name route to its archive; `cat:`/`category:` prefix. No models/channels archives (sections `models`/`channels` are rejected by the API). No proxy needed. |
+| `hooporn` | `studio-network` | no | no | HTML scraper for hooporn.com (studio/pornstar tube; Cloudflare-fronted but serves plain 200 to the shared requester). Cards `div.video-card` with lazy thumb in `img[data-src]` (`//imgs.hooporn.com/thumb/...jpg?v2`, direct, no Referer), title in `div.video-title a`, `.time` duration, `span.create` unix timestamp → `uploadedAt`; no views/rating. Feed `/home/{N}`, category `/category/{slug}/{N}` (63 hardcoded from `/categories`), pornstar `/pornstar/{slug}/{N}`, studio `/studio/{slug}/{N}` (studio slugs are concatenated, e.g. `familystrokes`), search `/search?q=…&p={N}` (24 per page; `?search=`/`/search/q/N` do not work). Prefix queries `cat:`/`category:`, `pornstar:`/`star:`/`model:`, `studio:`/`site:`; a bare keyword matching a category name routes to the archive; any other query is first probed on the site (`/pornstar/{slug}/1`, then `/studio/{slug-without-dashes}/1`; unknown archives are an instant 404 read through the raw response, Cloudflare challenges are handed to the requester/FlareSolverr chain) and used as that archive if it exists, otherwise it is a keyword search. The probe runs on every page, so page N of a pornstar/studio query stays in that archive. The watch page `/watch/{24hex}` is **not** yt-dlp-resolvable (player is an iframe), and the mp4 is signed (`videos.trendyporn.com/...mp4?md5=…&expires=…`, ~1 day, 403 without the signature, no Referer/IP binding), so every card is enriched (`buffered(8)`): watch page → `iframe[src*="/video/"]` (`//vid.hooporn.com/video/{n}`) → `var video = "…"` into one `formats[]` entry (quality unknown, labelled `auto`); the watch page also yields category tags, pornstar names (as tags) and the studio (uploader `hooporn:{studio-slug}`). Items whose enrichment fails are dropped. No proxy needed. |

 ### Output Shape

+- **Verified Hot Tub app clients cannot follow redirects in `formats[].url`.** Redirect proxies (`REDIRECT_PROXIES` in `src/proxy.rs`) are for `video.url` in the app response; `api.rs` moves such formats to `url` for verified app clients as a safety net. Other clients keep the redirect-proxy URLs in `formats`.
 - Use `formats` for real media URLs (HLS, multi-quality, signed token), and keep `video.url` on a stable page URL. Never set `video.url` to a tokenized stream that needs a `Referer` to play — the `url` field has no header contract.
 - If thumbnails need a `Referer` and the player has no per-thumb header mechanism, proxy them via `/proxy/<id>-thumb/...`. The same applies to manifests with relative URIs.
 - Keep filter `id` values stable and machine-targeted. Display `title`s change; ids route.

+# Seamless query resolution todo
+
+Goal: a free-form query ("gal ritchie", "family strokes") should reach the matching
+pornstar / studio / channel / tag archive **without** a `pornstar:` / `studio:` / `tag:` prefix,
+by asking the site (probe) and falling back to keyword search. Prefixes stay as explicit overrides.
+
+Pattern (see `hooporn`, `cumlouder`): after known-category matching, probe page 1 of each entity
+archive for the slug with `Requester::get_probe` (404 = instant `None`, Cloudflare challenge goes to
+FlareSolverr, 5xx/429 retried once), use the first archive that yields cards (page N stays in that
+archive), else keyword search. A probe is only valid after checking what the site answers for an
+unknown slug (404 vs soft-404 that lists unrelated videos).
+
+Status: `[ ]` open, `[x]` done and verified live (feed of the archive + unknown name falls back),
+`[-]` not applicable (reason).
+
+| | Provider | Prefix kinds today | Plan / evidence |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| [x] | `hooporn` | cat, pornstar, studio | reference implementation |
+| [x] | `cumlouder` | cat, tag, series, girl | reference implementation (girl page, then tag) |
+| [x] | `fullporner` | cat, pornstar | probes `/pornstar/{slug}` (unknown = 404 with a suggestion grid, so status decides); `pornstar:` slug now dashed |
+| [x] | `fullpornerorg` | pornstar | probes `/videos/pornstar/{slug}/` (404 for unknown) |
+| [x] | `tube8` | tag, cat, channel, pornstar | probes pornstar then channel |
+| [x] | `youporn` | tag, channel, pornstar, amateur | probes pornstar, channel, amateur (plus existing background shortcut map) |
+| [x] | `porn4fans` | tag, cat, model | probes `/models/{slug}/` then `/tags/{slug}/` (both 404 when unknown) |
+| [x] | `xvideos` | tag, cat, uploader/channel/profile | probes `/channels/{slug}/videos/new/0` (JSON; pornstar profiles redirect there). **Also fixed**: the old `channel:`/`uploader:` prefix returned nothing (landing page cards are `/prof-video-click/` links); channels are now read from the JSON video list |
+| [x] | `xhamster` | cat, channel | added `Pornstar` target; probes pornstar then channel |
+| [x] | `xgroovy` | cat, pornstar, channel | probes pornstar then channel |
+| [x] | `thepornbunny` | tag, cat, studio, pornstar | probes pornstar, studio, tag (unknown slugs redirect home: `get_probe` now treats a redirect to another path as a miss) |
+| [x] | `pornhub` | channel, pornstar, model, user | background catalogs already matched listed names; unknown names are probed (`pornstar`, `model`, `channels`) and cached in `tag_map` (misses remembered) |
+| [x] | `clapdat` | tag, user | probes tag then user |
+| [x] | `fikfap` | tag, user | single-word query that is an existing profile (profile endpoint) goes to its posts, empty profile falls back to search |
+| [x] | `erome` | uploader, user | single-word query that is an existing `/{name}` with albums goes to the uploader |
+| [x] | `redgifs` | tag, user | single-word query that is an existing creator (users endpoint) goes to the creator, empty falls back |
+| [x] | `sextb` | (catalog matched) | catalog (actress/studio/genre) match first, then probes `/actress/{slug}` and `/studio/{slug}` for names outside the catalog |
+| [x] | `coomer` | u:, @service:user | single-word query that is an existing creator id (`/api/v1/{service}/user/{id}/profile`) goes to the creator. **Also fixed**: creator feeds are a bare JSON array, which the parser rejected (every creator feed was empty) |
+| [-] | `ripnsfw`, `hsex`, `omgxxx`, `eporner`, `borntobefuck`, `archivebate` | various | already seamless: bare names match background-loaded creator / studio / tag catalogs (or the whole catalog is filtered client-side) |
+| [-] | `perfectgirls`, `okxxx`, `pornhat`, `perverzija`, `porntrex` | sites/models/stars | bare names already resolve through the background-loaded `tag_map`; these clones build their own `wreq` client with no `ServerOptions`, so a live probe needs a separate refactor onto the shared requester |
+| [-] | `homoxxx` | models, pornstars, channels, categories, tags | legacy provider (own client, unpaginated archives, no `/models/` index on the site); not worth a probe until it is rewritten |
+| [-] | `kwiky`, `animeidhentai`, `hentaitv`, `xnxx`, `blowjobspro`, `txxx` | tag/cat | search already is the entity lookup, or the site has no pornstar/studio archives to probe (txxx: the API rejects `models`/`channels` sections) |
+| [-] | `fyptt` | cat | by design: bare category words are common search terms and must not be hijacked |
+| [-] | `notfans` | tag, category | tag URLs are hashed ids, so an unknown name cannot be probed; search covers it |
+| [-] | `allpornstream`, `jable`, `wowxxx`, `hornyleak`, `hotbunny`, `hentaimama`, `tikporn`, `camsoda` | actor/producer, model, studio, ... | Cloudflare-gated or down from this host (403/522, FlareSolverr wedged), so a probe cannot be verified here; each would add one or two FlareSolverr solves per search.

Simon	cf0ae15f93	hanime: play through a redirect proxy; the signed stream links expire Items now carry /proxy/hanime/{slug}/{height}.m3u8, which does a fresh handshake per play and 302s to the current playlist. The handshake moved to util/hanime_resolve.rs so single-provider builds keep the route.

Simon	aa00abdd5b	rule34video: probe the space-less artist slug (e.g. /models/biggreen/) for multi-word queries Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01MUYdCh2nCVsQYgJAT7gwSi	2026-10-27 21:45:09 +00:00
Simon	e5a2afcc70	eporner: stream through the server; the signed CDN links are IP-locked The redirect proxy from `6ba65f1` still played the one-minute "watch on eporner.com" clip away from home: checked from foreign networks (check-host.net nodes in BR/DE/HU), a freshly signed link answers 302 -> static.eporner.com/na.mp4, while the IP that resolved it gets the file. A redirect therefore only works for a player behind the server's public IP. /proxy/eporner/{alnum_id}/{height}.mp4 now streams the mp4: resolves the link (cached 90 min, re-resolved when the CDN answers with a redirect), forwards Range, and returns a sized body so 206 responses keep Content-Length. It is no longer a redirect proxy, so app clients keep the URLs in formats. Verified locally: HEAD, 0-1, mid-file and open-ended ranges return 206 with Content-Length/Content-Range and valid MP4 data.

Simon	6ba65f1457	eporner: play through a redirect proxy; the signed CDN links expire after 2h Expired eporner mp4 links are answered with a 302 to static.eporner.com/ na.mp4, a one-minute "watch it on eporner.com" clip. The links expire exactly two hours after the /xhr/video call, so anything played from a favourite, history entry or a list left open past that hit the decoy. New /proxy/eporner/{alnum_id}/{height} re-resolves the hash/xhr chain at play time and 302s to the matching (else best) quality. The eporner provider and melonstube's eporner destinations now emit these proxy URLs; verified app clients get the best quality as video.url via the existing redirect-proxy rule. Verified live: proxy -> fresh CDN link -> 206 video/mp4 for app and non-app clients.

Simon	b131910ea2	rule34video: make queries robust (single-page results, safe search paths, 429-proof enrichment) - Parser no longer requires a pagination block: single-page results (small tags, short searches) used to parse to zero items. - Search path is slugged like the site's own form: "2b/9s" 404'd, "%20" is refused with 403 and "&" truncated the query. - Probed archives need >= 4 videos to beat keyword search ("elf girl" was a one-video tag); conclusive query -> target resolutions are remembered for 6h so later pages and the prefetch skip the probes. - Enriched details are cached per video URL for 2h (tokens last ~12h); detail fetches go through get_probe so a lasting 429 stops the batch instead of escalating each page to Jina/FlareSolverr. Archive failures serve stale cache. - requester: get_probe waits before retrying 429/5xx and compares redirect paths percent-decoded (non-ASCII archives like /tags/pokémon-species/ were treated as redirected away); get_with_headers backs off 1/2/4s on 429.
