Not to be confused with Kephost.hu.

Kephost.com is a Hungarian one-click image sharing service, one of the oldest and most popular ones besides kepfeltoltes.hu. People can easily upload files from their computers with a few clicks, and then paste the URLs of the images (or their pages) wherever they want. Here users can also choose a category to upload to, and even create an account for themselves. Pictures can be commented on through the embedded Facebook comment module.

The service started in 2008. Since then, they have changed design in almost every year, and also have had several different site structures (including accessing images) – however, they seem to have not deleted older pictures since the first, 2010 redesign.

Site structure

As already mentioned, they have had several different site structures. The following applies to their last, which has been in use apparently since 2014.

Uploaded images can be public, and also probably private (this function needs registration). Only public pictures appear in the image browser, private ones cannot be discovered. Also, recently some older pictures don't appear in the end of the image browser.

Images are given a page whose URL is http://www.kephost.com/image/<ID> where <ID> seems to be an incrementing[1] base-62 number (alphabet A..Z, 0..9, a..z (in this order (?)), starting with one character). Letter 'A' acts as a leading zero when being the first character, that is, Aw = AAw = AAAw etc. The location of the actual image is http://kephost.com/images/<YYYY>/<MM>/<DD>/<FILENAME>.<EXT> where YYYY-MM-DD is the date the file was uploaded, FILENAME is the same as the user's file had on their computer, <EXT> is its extension. This original version is always linked in with an <a> tag, as the download link. A thumbnail version is also generated for every picture, alhough not shown (just provided among the links); its filename is postfixed with .th, like <FILENAME>.th.<EXT>. Finally, if the image is large enough, an .md (medium) version is also generated (filename extended with .md), and in this case this version, otherwise the original one is shown on the page (with an <img> tag).

Older images

Archiving older images would need web scrape. Some of the older pattern prefixes:

  • kephost.com/view3.php?filename= – followed by a random alphanumeric/underscore token plus extension
  • kephost.com/images[23]/ – followed by a random alphanumeric/underscore token plus extension
  • kephost.com/images4/ – followed by YYYY/M/D (one or two digit month and day!) then a random alphanumeric/underscore token plus extension, the token often also contains the date in YYYY_M_D format
  • kephost.com/view-NUM_TOKEN.EXT – NUM might be a day counter, TOKEN might be the original filename – used until 2010, images seem to have been deleted
