Hi, You appear to have shown that Akamai is invisible to browsers for the puposes of @font-face :) Regards, Dave On 19 Jun 2009, 7:14 PM, "Aryeh Gregor" <Simetrical+w3c@gmail.com<Simetrical%2Bw3c@gmail.com>> wrote: On Fri, Jun 19, 2009 at 11:29 AM, Levantovsky, Vladimir< Vladimir.Levantovsky@monotypeimaging.com> wr... Akamai is not invisible to the UA. For instance, if you visit microsoft.com, images are served from different domains: i.microsoft.com, i2.microsoft.com, i3.microsoft.com. These are actually aliases for Akamai servers: $ host i.microsoft.com i.microsoft.com is an alias for i.toggle.www.ms.akadns.net. i.toggle.www.ms.akadns.net is an alias for i.g.www.ms.akadns.net. i.g.www.ms.akadns.net is an alias for i.microsoft.com.edgesuite.net. i.microsoft.com.edgesuite.net is an alias for a1475.g.akamai.net. a1475.g.akamai.net has address 72.246.99.40 a1475.g.akamai.net has address 72.246.99.114 Of course, a font that permitted use by *.microsoft.com wouldn't actually have an issue here, unless the browser follows CNAMEs before determining whether the restrictions apply (which would make no sense, AFAICT). It would be an issue if the site linked directly to a1475.g.akamai.net instead of using an alias.Received on Friday, 19 June 2009 18:21:24 UTC
