As today there is a new PS3 firmware (and I have a previous firmware) but I want to be able to activate the Playstation without use Windows tools (as I am on Linux) and without waiting for a new modded firmware version.
So in an hour I did this simple proxy that let you specify the firmware version that you have and automatically will proxy all the other requests to the original pages.
Except the request to ps3-updatelist.txt
that will use a custom file (available in the repo) that include a version placeholder.
