There are lot of trick to browse freely through Airtel Live ( GPRS service from Bharti Airtel) Connected to PC. Most popular is SSL proxy site + proxifier or Some modified Tunnel Software + Additional Browser Tweaking or infamous your-freedom client. Some time before airtel blocked ssl through airtel live causing most of the common trick to dead state. This lead to discovery of many web to mobile page rendering service that are included in the whitelist of proxy "100.1.200.99". These service are either running their web application in non standard HTTP ports ( Uceweb) or they are content provider for airtel (yahoo search) or some parter ship with airtel network ( Google ). Out of the the most popular was
http://wap.google.com/gwt/n/, when i found this i had wrote a greasemonkey script but i didnt like it the rendering and it doesnt work well with response type like wml or wmls, so i left the plan to develop it further. Yesterday i found someone talking about another service from indiatimes in Gourav's forum so i decided to check it. I found it much better than google rendering and it works well with wap sites ( almost perfect ) so i decided modify my script. But i encountered another issue with this service is its response id forwarding links to another service which is not free in airtel live , also the image ( tough mobile rendered ) it reside in the non free serivce. so i decided to over come this problem . I fired my first goal in 2 hrs by adding specific listners and functions to modify the page to a 'free' page. I found some amazing things in userscripting and firefox i got interested i thought i will make my script to an extension. I tried some userscript compiler and everything went fine but the extension has very few ( almost zero interactivity ). So decided to make my own extension for firefox. I pulled some tutorials from web and the completed my extension. and gave a funny name InAir ( Indiatimes in Airtel ). Plugin works almost ok.
