Inlay Client Test

Help test the component you will install on your server to interface with Inlay.io.

In order to do its magic, Inlay needs to have an “agent” on the inside of your server. This application is known technically as a proxy, and it translates requests from your server to the Inlay.io server and back again.

The test application I would like you to use is not the complete proxy, and it is only testing one aspect of the system. Your help at this stage will ensure that Inlay can be used on the widest possible range of servers.

It is important that your server support PHP, and that the version of PHP on your server allows me to use some basic techniques. That’s what this test script tries to do.

Here’s how to help:

  1. Download this test application, and un-Zip it to the folder inlay-client.
  2. Use Transmit or Fetch or another S/FTP application to upload that folder to your Web server, into the same folder as your index.html file. Be sure to upload the entire folder, not just its contents, because the .htaccess file inside it is normally invisible, and is necessary for this to work.
  3. Upload some random HTML pages to that same folder (optional). These can be nested in sub-folders if you like. This test application will only look inside the inlay-client folder, not outside of it.
  4. Return to this page, and use the form below to trigger the remote listing of the inlay-client folder. No data will be saved on this server, it’s just a test of the ability for our servers to talk to one another.
  5. Tell me how it worked! If it didn’t work, please leave the folder in place, and tell me the address, so I can see what the diagnostic said.

Enter the complete URL to the inlay-client folder on your server.
