Xarf Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I was browsing the Apple UK Store earlier today and came across this when attempting to access the University store from outside of my Universities web system. Turns out, Apple is using Microsoft server to host its website? Worrying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenzer Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 From the title of the thread I thought it was about Apple breaking OpenClip: http://openclip.org/main.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 You sure that error wasn't returned by your universities server? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Isn't it far more likely that procureweb.ac.uk, an independent 3rd party, is running on a MS server, and is merely allowing apple to use a sub-domain to hock its gaudy wallet killers?

Possible, however the web at procureweb.ac.uk reports 'Does not allow its directory to be listed' so, I'd imagine it's a virtual domain hosted by apple for searching up IPs based on Universities (Its not an actual Uni website). So the apple Uni lookup IP service is running on MS servers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Its hosted on a fucking ja.net IP, not apple. Its a 3rd party site apple are merely sell shit via. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digip Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 The apple lappy looks photoshop'd to me. Either way, who cares really? Apple.com doesn't even have it's own http server for it's OS?? It relies on Apache (on a probably Mac OS anyway, since they get categorized as Unix systems now). Header for Apple.com HTTP/1.0 200 OK Age: 64 Accept-Ranges: bytes Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2008 01:15:06 GMT Content-Length: 10761 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Expires: Thu, 28 Aug 2008 01:25:06 GMT Cache-Control: max-age=600 Connection: keep-alive Proxy-Connection: keep-alive Server: Apache/2.2.8 (Unix) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pants123 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I'm fairly certain that apache is the server system built into Mac OSX. Even the Desktop OS has it built in for web sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor512 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 it could be a mac server running windows and apple doesn't really handle the server market well so they will use whats most popular as it is easier to get workers to manage your network also apple.com uses microsoft and linux servers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I'm fairly certain that apache is the server system built into Mac OSX. Even the Desktop OS has it built in for web sharing. A lot of linux distros come with Apache as the default HTTP servers as well, but it's not made by Apple or Linux. That was my point. Just because a site uses a certain software over another, doesn't mean much of anything about the company itself. Infrastructure is based on your needs, not shiny white plastic boxes with the letter "i" attached to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deleted Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Apple are using Mac Servers running Mac OSX Server. I couldnt find the video, but a while ago, they had a video tour of their Data Center, and it was all X-Serves. The Guy giving the tour made a big deal about some Dell Servers Running Exchange for Blackberry users, I guess they are gone now and replaced with the MobileMe Push Servers.

VaKo Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 This particular server is nothing to do with Apple though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCold Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Its hosted on a fucking ja.net IP, not apple. Its a 3rd party site apple are merely sell shit via. It doesn't matter where it's hosted, what's worrying is how apple is lowering their standards handling their 3rd party providers They're having problems with the Infineon chips, with the MobileMe service and even with their assembly line!!
