Created page with '== File == '''Name:''' ''GeoIP.dat'' '''Location:''' ''~/.aMule/'' == Description == Binary format file containing a database of the physical location of IP addresses. It is u…'

New page

== File ==
'''Name:''' ''GeoIP.dat''

'''Location:''' ''~/.aMule/''

== Description ==
Binary format file containing a database of the physical location of IP addresses. It is used by the GeoIP extension of php. For more information on that, see the [http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.geoip.php PHP Manual - Geo IP Location].

GeoIP.dat is published by [[http://www.maxmind.com/|MaxMind]]. To get the latest version of the file, or to download the APIs for using it, go to the [http://www.maxmind.com/app/geolite MaxMind GeoLite Databases] page.

== Format ==
Binary, and possibly proprietary.

== Notes ==
The location from which to download GeoIP.dat would appear to be hard-coded into '''Preferences.cpp''':

<pre>
$ grep -n "GeoIP.dat" Preferences.cpp
1254: s_MiscList.push_back( new Cfg_Str( wxT("/eMule/GeoLiteCountryUpdateUrl"), s_GeoIPUpdateUrl, wxT("http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz") ) );
</pre>
