No joke this! Rajnikanth website really runs without internet

It may sound like another Rajinikanth joke, but a new website dedicated to the superstar runs 'without an internet connection'!

Visitors to All About Rajni are greeted with a warning that "He is no ordinary man, this is no ordinary website. It runs on Rajini Power" and are advised to switch off their internet connection to enter the website.

Only when the web is disconnected, one is allowed to explore the site.

It's sad to know that the website just have a single page to explore right now, the "please check the internet settings" page. :(

Edit: Or so I expected!

Turns out, website (or flash) do run only if we disconnect from net. :lol:
Pretty good!

If you have firefox, turn on the web console, you will see that the site is continuously polling (sending GET requests) to:

[01:11:31.813] GET *www.desimartini.com/allaboutrajniV1/config.xml?1751068794 [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 27ms]

This is the actual entry to the console. So, when you disconnect, the request fails and triggers the event to load the rest of the site.

Nothing extraordinary.

***Edit :

Another lol. When I opened the config.xml, from the above address, it contains.

Code:
<config>
	<MACHA YOU ARE CRACKING IT>
		BUT RAJNI SAYS - RASKALA 
	</MACHA YOU ARE CRACKING IT>

</config>

Now, that's :)

@David: It seems Superstar knew you were cracking the website. :nanananana:

Nice idea though. He's got his unique reputation from his fans.

^^ Of course. It would be not be much, since most of the "data" would be text.
