Firefox does not allow port 21?

This morning I am experimenting with this URL:
http://some-example-site:21

Apparently firefox (flox, and the rest of the pack) would not allow me to open the site. It says:
This address is restricted

This address uses a network port which is normally used for purposes other than Web browsing. Firefox has cancelled the request for your protection.

Try again.
What if I understand the risk and I am doing it on purpose (I am redirecting port 21 to a web server as an experiment to by-passing firewall)? Can I bypass this protection?

I tried other browsers, and only Safari (on a Mac) allows me to do it. (Don't know whether this is good or bad.) Any comments on this?

Ada beberapa orang yang menyarankan agar saya menggunakan "ftp://" bukan "http://". Jawaban saya; saya bukan mau FTP tapi memang mau akses HTTP.

Jadi, sebetulnya saya mau membuat web server tapi pakai port 21 :) (ini dilakukan untuk mengelabui firewall yang hanya memperkenankan port 21. he he he.) Jadi, protokolnya tetap harus pakai http.

Sebetulnya lebih jauh lagi ... port 21 ini saya pakai untuk redirection ke port 80 di internal LAN. (Pusing? hi hi hi)

Tnx. Jadi tahu caranya. Hanya, caranya gak manusiawi. harus edit file user.js sendiri. hik hik hik. Mestinya ada di menunya lah.

komentar di http://ackbarr.xoops.org/archives/2005/03/31/integrated-windows-authentication-in-firefox/ juga menyebutkan solusinya tanpa mengedit .js

"Found a fix for my port issue, add a string key on the about:config page called “network.security.ports.banned.override” and set a comma-delimited list of port numbers."

Himbauan Kepada Hacker & Cracker Indonesia & Malaysia

Kepada Hacker & Cracker Indonesia & Malaysia, Saya mengharapkan anda tidak melakukan penyerangan atau/dan pengrusakan situs-situs Indonesia dan Malaysia. Saya mengerti bahwa akhir-akhir ini beberapa masalah di dunia nyata membuat kita kesal dan marah. Namun kekesalan tersebut sebaiknya tidak dilimpahkan ke dunia maya (cyberspace). Semestinya sebelum melakukan aksi yang berdampak negatif, kita bisa melakukan langkah-langkah positif seperti melakukan dialog (melalui email, mailing list, bulletin board, blog, dan media elektronik lainnya). Kita harus ingat bahwa kita hidup bertetangga dan bersaudara. Yang namanya hidup bertetangga pasti mengalami perbedaan pendapat. Mari kita belajar bertetangga dengan baik. Saya berharap agar kita yang hidup di dunia maya mencontohkan bagaimana kita menyelesaikan permasalahan dengan kepala dingin dan hati yang lapang, sehingga para pemimpin kita di dunia nyata dapat mencontoh penyelesaian damai. Mudah-mudahan mereka dapat lebih arif dan bijaksana...

Say NO to APJII!

Prolog At the end of 1997, I went back to Indonesia from my studies and work in Canada. The .ID domain management in Indonesia at that time was in a confusing state. Nobody wanted to manage it. Universitas Indonesia (UI) - the original maintainer - was in a fight with APJII (the Association of Indonesian ISP). In the end, IANA gave me a mandate to manage the .ID domain. Since then, I manage the .ID domain with open management. There are problems, but mostly minors. Until recently, when APJII (again) is trying to take over the .ID domain management from my team. Here's a short info to give you a head start. Short summary APJII (the association of ISP in Indonesia) is trying to takeover the .ID domain management in Indonesia. They have tried and will try everything to take over. Long description I've been managing the .ID domain since the end of 1997. At that time, nobody wanted to run the domain management. First of all, a brief description of how we run things. To run the .ID d...

More bad news with Malaysia - Indonesia

I've got more emails and news about bad news between Indonesia and Malaysia. To be exact, there was a news about RELA (not sure what that is) that goes out after Indonesians in Malaysia. There were incidents where they hit Indonesians, rob, and do horrible things. I cannot even write this is my blog. I am so sad and frustrated. What's going on with Malaysia (and Malaysians)? What did we - Indonesian(s) - do to deserve this? I thought there should be less boundary between Indonesia and Malaysia. But ... What's going on there, bro & sis? You know, more Indonesians now feel that they are offended by Malaysians. I can tell you that this bad feeling is increasing. This is a bad publicity towards Malaysia. People are now creating various calling names, such as "Malingsia" (it's a short of "maling" [thief] "siah" [you, Sundanese]), and worse.
