Proxomitron Reborn

[zoltan]

Coming from years of using ProxHTTPSProxy, I'm uncertain about a few things and how Reborn may differ. With the former, there is a config.ini file that allows you to add URLs to an "SSL Pass-Thru" which seemed to be the equivalent of choosing No Proxy in the browser's settings. This was important for some sites (or their .css or .js hosts) that absolutely would fail under all filtering circumstances. Putting those URLs in the Proxomitron's Bypass list was not helpful. It would stop filtering, but not SSL errors.

With Reborn there's obviously no such config.ini, so I'm wondering if the Bypass list is now the equivalent of what I was doing with the SSL-Pass-Thru in config.ini.

The ProxHTTPSProxy's comand prompt window also allowed an instant view of which specific URLs were triggering errors, which was important for knowing which URLs to add to the pass-thru. Now I'm feeling kind of in the dark about what's going on underneath Reborn when something's not working.

Which brings me to google maps not loading. At first I thought it could be the $JUMP discussed above, but after commenting it out, maps still fails. Since it's failing with the same config that loads under ProxHTTPSProxy, I'm at a loss for how to start troubleshooting. Ordinarily, I'd first look at the prompt window. So far, all I know is that it's solved by unchecking "Web Page Filters" but I'm wondering if that may be producing a broader effect than it was by unchecking the same with ProxHTTPSProxy's setup. If it's one of those situations where one of the site's many dependent files are being blocked with an SSL error that's not apparent with a browser notification, how do you solve it? Not so much for this instance but any future ones as well.

I created a test config where I stripped out all filters below "Patterns." With that, google maps still fails, so it's definitely not the same as unchecking Web Filters. I didn't think my filters were actually a problem anyway since maps works with the same filters under ProxHTTPSProxy.

Google Images is also failing to an extent. It loads the thumbnails, but clicking them produces no response.
