The Un-Official Proxomitron Forum

Hi, I have a linkstation pro running a java script app to share files across an https connection. When I try to navigate to the site i get the following error:

* Access Denied

Access control configuration prevents your request from being allowed at this time. Please contact your service provider if you feel this is incorrect.

I looked through the config bits and this forum but could not find anything obvious. I can browse https sites in general through bfilter (gmail for example) and I am successfully using proxy forwarding also.

If I remove bfilter from the equation and just use my work proxy directly I can browse using the JS script quite happily so I think the problem must lie with my setup of bfilter. I am running version 1.1.1 on windows XP with pretty much all the default settings.

Any help much appreciated as this app really does work, and it defeats the object for me if I have to disable it to access sites simply coz I dont know how to set it up properly!

Thanks,

Ban.

I think I know where the problem is. BFilter restricts https to certain ports. Most of the proxies do the same for security reasons. There are two ways to overcome this restriction:
1. You go to advanced settings and set:
2. You go to Internet Explorer's settings and configure it not to use BFilter for HTTPS. You hardly lose anything in this case, because banner removal capabilities for HTTPS are minimal.

That worked beautifully, thanks!!
