About name2key and http://vwrsearch.secondlife.com

[Dahlia Orfan]

It seems that all name2key services like http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/User:Takat_Su/Name2Key are out of service. When I try the URL vwrsearch.secondlife.com/client_search.php?session=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000&q=dahlia orfan, I don't get any answer. Does it mean that LindenLab blocked the access to vwrsearch.secondlife.com from outside as well ? It is already blocked from inside SL.

What about http://w-hat.com/name2key ?  Is LL going to block that one too?

This name2key service is still working because it stores UUID keys. And I hope that LindenLab will not block http://w-hat.com/name2key for the scripts inside SL indeed :matte-motes-not-entertained:. I ask the question because I don't know what to do. I have a few devices what I sell which are partially broken (they are still usable but not all features are 100% functional). I don't know whether I prepare an update for them by changing the URL, eventually by letting the user add themself an URL for example in a setting notecard, or I wait. Maybe it is only a network problem. That was the meaning of my question : does LindenLab definitely block all access to search.secondlife.com from outside SL. It was already blocked for inworld scripts (to avoid DoS attacks I think).

Linden Lab is not blocking anything. Name2Key will work to w-hat.com continuously, since their name2key database doesn't rely on any data from LL.

vwrsearch.secondlife.com is down (broken); services that rely on this to function will fail until it is repaired, and this includes the name2key lookup you linked. (Please see this thread for a small amount of useful information)
