Can Proxomitron filter this HTTPS site?
This is another one of my "I don't understand all I know about this device" questions.

Why does this filter:

Code:
[Patterns]
Name = "GoogleAnalyticsJSKiller (jerry)"
Active = TRUE
Bounds = "<script*</script>"
Limit = 16000
Match = "*google-analytics*"
Replace = "<!-- Killed Nosey JavaScript (jerry)[g-a] -->"

work on this page:
http://www.google.com/analytics/

but not on this page:
https://www.google.com/analytics/home/

I have my browser proxy set for "localhost:8080" for both HTTP and HTTPS.

Thanks.

Your link gets me an https login page.
However, your filter does remove the script there.
So...

Have you enabled the filtering of secure pages in the Proxomitron.

RE: Can Proxomitron filter this HTTPS site?
Again, you've hit the nail right on the head.

The SSLeay was NOT turned on, although I had already placed the ssleay32.dll and libeay32.dll files in the Proxomitron folder because I knew Off-By-One browser needed them to run SSL, and I figured maybe Proxomitron needed them too.

It took me a while to find the HTTP tab, but turning it on made my little filter suck all the unwanted stuff out of the page OK.

BTW -- I saw the caution about filtering banking sites. I don't do banking over the Internet. It's those temporary HTTPS sign-in pages that annoy me. The most "secure" place I visit is Netflix.

Thanks again.
