- Dear Readers,
- =======================
- UPDATE May 23, 2016
- You may be asking yourself where the PDFs are. Long story short, or for those visiting again, here is gist of it:
- Visit https://sao-archive.maamue.de and enter the following credentials for username and password:
- sao
- Alicization
- The decryption key is
- w%`p^8E7|NPe1JAArx'=
- You need the application 7-zip to decrypt the files, other tools won't work!
- That's the breakdown. Now the detailed explanation:
- MediaFire recognizes documents with copyright status and deletes the files along with the account that shared them, hence I wasn't able to upload the published LN's there anymore. As long as Alicization wasn't touched, I thought I could bear with that.
- But at the end of this year, Volume 09: Alicization Beginning will be released. And to host only half of an arc isn't really my style.
- To avoid further issues, I moved from MediaFire to a selfhosting solution. The page is secured by state-of-the-art encryption, and only allows people with correct username and password access. Additionally, every volume itself is encrypted, too. Some may say that this approach is a bit over the top, I agree, but it's working and reduces my workload in the end.
- For those of you who want to grab all of the LN's, I created a batchfile with every LN, therefore you only need to download and decrypt only one file.
- The encryption only refers to the main Light Novel and Progressive series, everything else will be accessible as it was before.
- To avoid common issues:
- *Users accessing the archive via mobile may be able to download files. On most mobile browser's it's working, though not on all. A little excerpt: Opera as of Android 5, Chromium on Android 6, Safari on iOS are all working. Problems are making the following browsers: Dolphin, and sometimes Firefox.
- *All Internet Explorers on Windows XP and Internet Explorer <8 can't read the "SAN" (Subject Alternative Name) of a TLS certificate. See https://www.digicert.com/ssl-support/apache-secure-multiple-sites-sni.htm for addidtional information. I try to add sao-archive as the common name, but the certificate updating mechanism isn't able to make sure that sao-archive.maamue.de is the common name on the certificate.
- Other domains under my control are printed on this certificate, too. Therefore don't fret if you get a certificate warning, everything should be fine and you can proceed regardless. Check the error message / warning message you get! Try another browser and/or another up-to-date operating system to make sure everything is fine.
- If you still think something is wrong, please send me a mail AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! I am serious about security issues and don't want any malfunctions happening here.
- *I redirect from http to https, hence unencrypted communication is not possible. However, to update my certificate, it may be possible that the website is accessible via http for few minutes.
- These were rather "IT-heavy" issues, but you should know regardless.
- If problems arise, you have few contact mechanisms to be found on http://swordartonline.wikia.com/wiki/User:Mamue. Naturally, my e-mail address mamue93@gmx.de is still valid, too.
