sidki-config: Oct 23 2010

[sidki3003]

Hi all, a new config version is ready.

ChangeLog Wrote:October 23rd 2010
User Interface:
You can remove specific comment-blocks on given pages via the
Exceptions-U list.

Proxomitron menu:
"Show 'xxx' CSS" allows you to view all inline and external styles of a
page (initial code by ddandyy).
BabelFish translation service replaced with Bing, which features
automatic language recognition (like Google).
Defunct Whois service replaced.

Privacy:
3rd party and image cookies are blocked by default. (This feature is
already part of the June 6th 2009 update for the last config version.)

Technical:
"application/xhtml+xml" is filtered as is. (Previously this content-
type was changed to "text/html".) Filters and Proxomitron scripts have
been updated to properly handle (much stricter) XHTML. As a
consequence, embedded XML applications like MathML should now display
properly in standard-compliant browsers.
The config was tested on various Linux flavors, and adjusted for
platform specific characteristics and non-Windows browsers.

Lists:
IncludeExclude and IncludeExclude-U are renamed to Exceptions and
Exceptions-U respectively.
AdHosts-J (used to scan script sources for unwanted hosts) has been
massively extended.
Bypass-SSL is a new list, containing secure sites, where Proxomitron
should go into SSL-bypass mode right from the beginning.

Documentation:
43unite has written "Prox_on_Linux.txt", a how-to for setting up
Proxomitron on Linux.
whenever has written "Page_Info.txt", an overview of informational page
elements inserted by Proxomitron.
JJoe added a chapter to "Techniques.txt", about working around an issue
with using positional variables directly after negated sub-expressions.
(All config filters containing the potentially troublesome expression
pattern have been updated with the recommended notation.)
The ReadMe's "Installation" chapter is now hopefully a little easier to
understand for Proxomitron beginners.

As always:
Various bugfixes, additions, removals, improvements, enhancements,
and too little time.
