UPDATEOnly get the WAN IP Adress (nothing more, it's quite simple)
The module has an unique function. It gets the WAN IP Address
of the machine from this source:
http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp
The maximum hit rate recommended on this web is 1 hit every 5 minutes. The plugin can't reach that rate and is
limited to 1 hit every 15 minutes (max), and has default rate of 1 hit per hour.
The plugin can simulate the UserAgent strings.
1 - 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)',
2 - 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); es-ES; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13',
3 - 'Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/1A538a Safari/419.3'
Any other numeric value, gets a random UserAgent.
(New) Syntax:
$dll(mywanip,1,<useragent>,)
If you want to test it, feel free to coment... but don't throw me to the wolves! (I'm only a two-day experienced plugin developer)
