Retire the auxiliary domains (decided 2026-08-21)

Only httpoxy.org is kept. Both auxiliary domains are being dropped:

  • httpoxy.com - expired 2026-07-04 and entered redemptionPeriod on 2026-08-15. Namecheap's restore fee (~USD $100) was judged not worth paying. It served an S3 RedirectAllRequestsTo 301 to httpoxy.org behind CloudFront; that redirect is already dead and the name will drop around mid-September 2026.
  • httpo.xyz - auto-renew off, lapses 2027-07-04. Never used: zero Internet Archive snapshots in its lifetime, no references in public code, no site, no infrastructure beyond a registrar parking page.

Consequences to be aware of:

  • Anyone typing httpoxy.com after the drop reaches whoever registers it next, not this site. That is a real risk for a disclosure page (third-party nginx configs in the wild carry comments reading # mitigate httpoxy.com), and it was the argument for redeeming it. The cost was judged higher than the risk.
  • The AWS resources behind the .com redirect (Route 53 zone, site.httpoxy-com bucket, CloudFront distribution, ACM certificate) are declared in the private dominics/tf-config repo under aws/dns/httpoxy/ via the site-redirect module. They need removing there, not here.
  • httpoxy.org itself is unaffected. Its registration moves from Namecheap to Porkbun; DNS stays on Route 53 throughout.
