JJoe;

As usual, interesting things for me to try out. Wink

I'm busier than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest right now, might be a few days before I can report back.

Thanks.

RE: SSL woes.....
JJoe,

First, I tried your tests, and I get the same results you do. Not sure what that proves, except perhaps that I didn't understand your third instruction "If I test "login.yahoo.com/" against test 2's URL Match in the test window, I see "[No Match]".......... when I edit a Header filter, I don't see any kind of test window!!!!!!!!!

Now, having gotten a clue from the fact that you keep pointing at the URL Match, I decide to try something. I looked at both my ISP and at Yahoo's secure pages, and I'm damned if several filter aren't firing after all! So, checking the ones that mattered the most to me, I discovered that, 20-20 hindsight being what it is, my whole problem revolves around the URL Match for those allegedly unworking filters.

The proof of the pudding is, if I remove the URL match entirely, the filter works, secure page or not. But no matter how I implement a URL Match, secure pages simply get dropped out of the loop. So there's the true underlying problem. The question can be summarized as simply "Why did Proxo suddenly stop filtering secure pages for filters with a URL Match?" And it was suddenly, believe me. I hadn't touched any of those three key filters since last September (or was it October) when I first had a problem, and you gently reminded me to check my IE config itself (to see that it was set up to proxify secure pages). Since that time, I've added several filters, but nothing that replaced (nor even updated) the ones in question.

I placed the problem kids at the top of the filter list, I made sure that Multi was turned on, and I even ran a stripped-down subset of filters (shudder!), all just to be sure I hadn't introduced any conflicts. There's no doubt in my unmilitary mind, the URL Match is the source of my problems. The only question now is, do I persue the elegant solution, as intended and implemented by Scott, or do I simply let the filters run on every page I visit, knowing that I'm squandering multiple milleseconds of valuable time? Sad

While your help is always invaluable, I think you'd be justified in letting this thing drop in favor of spending time on helping others. Of course, if you should run across a potential solution in the future, I wouldn't be adverse to reading it here on TUOPF! Tooth Left

Thanks JJoe, you're still Aces in my book! Hail

It proves:
https://foo.com/ is not matched by a URL Match of "foo.com/".
https://foo.com/ is matched by a URL Match of "foo.com:".
The Proxomitron sees or treats
https://foo.com/ as
https://foo.com:443/
URL Matches must accommodate this behaviour.

Right-click on the URL Match field and choose "Test matching".

If you want to match https://login.yahoo.com/config/login_verify2?&.src=ym
, you could use a URL Match of "login.yahoo.com" or "login.yahoo.com:".
sidki's Yahoo: Auto Login filter uses
Code:
(^$KEYCHK(^C^A))$TYPE(htm)([^.]+.yahoo.com(:[0-9]+|)/config/(login(_verify2|)|mail)\?(\&+.|(^?))|mail.yahoo.com/)
It can match http and https.

Multi allows filters to match the output of the multi enabled filter.

Yes, but I was thinking more along the lines of 'this doesn't solve my URL matching dilemma'. Wait, more to follow, read on.......

Ah, the virtues of reading the documentation. Sad It's there, under the Header Filter Editor section, but it's not intuitively obvious like the button for the test window in the Web Filters that shows you what happens with actual text. And of course, a quick check shows that the same method applies for testing URL Matches in the Web Filters, too. Whistling

As often as not, I find that sidki's filters sometimes are too exacting. Shock. Watch this:
Code:
URL Match = [^/]++login.yahoo.com\w/
Works like a charm! It would take a very maliciously malformed URL to cause any problems, or so I should think.

That's true. What I was doing was making sure that I didn't have one filter stepping on another. Turns out I did, but that was a side effect, and easily cured, once I was on to the URL Match thing.

Well hey, far be it from be to hold a good man down!!! Hail

But I think the \w will solve the problem. Sinister
