Can someone give me a few sites that will show me if the default filters are really working?

I was also curious about the one that transforms microsoft to microsuck. It doesn't seem to work for me.

I would like to insert after <body>
<base target="_blank">
for forums */forums/*
and google's search result pages.

Maybe I could learn something from something like this. I just don't seem to get "it" from the docs.

Any help would be appreciated.

For Privoxy or the Proxomitron?

I have ProxHTTPSProxy, SmartCache, and Proxomitron working great on my computer. Works great (everywhere, but especially) on my SSL web email.

I'm trying to get Privoxy working on my Linux box. I have SmartCache working. Once I get Privoxy going, I'll be adding ProxHTTPSProxy.

So, the answer for now is Privoxy.

So, JJoe, you seem to be my #1 hero these days!

To Privoxy questions, I plead insufficient and dated knowledge.

Sorry...

In user.filter file, add:

Code:

FILTER: base_filter _blank

s|(<body[^>]*>)|$1\n<base target="_blank"\n>|sg

You could also use @ or / as a separator instead of |.

Note:

base_filter is filter name.
_blank is a brief description.

In user.action file, add:

Code:

{ +filter{base_filter} }

/(.*/)?forums?/

.google.*/(.*(\x26|\x23)|search\?)q=

Note: host pattern matching not the same as path pattern matching. More info here.

Likewise:

Code:

FILTER: Microsoft

s|Microsoft|Micro\$hit|g

Code:

{ +filter{Microsoft} }

/

You must activate Privoxy logging in config file and enable relevant debug modes. In your case, uncomment…

Code:

debug    64 # debug regular expression filters

Then, visit a few popular sites, review logfile.log and do a grep on filtering.

An alternative to the above is simply typing http://p.p/ in your browser; it's a shortcut for the URL http://config.privoxy.org/. Click on Look up which actions apply to a URL and why and test those queries—they must not be preceded by https.

google.com/webhp?hl=en#hl=en&q=PrxBx
google.com/search?q=PrxBx
google.com/#q=PrxBx

You should see the matched filter.

Note: Encrypted connexions require Privoxy running alongside ProxHTTPSProxyMII.

Obviously, you could also check the page source code to see your change…

OMG!!! Thank you so much!
On viewing source I see this:
</head>
<body>
<base target="_blank"
>
So, $1 = <body>
and \n = line feed and the rest makes sense!

Now I'm off to get ProxHTTPSProxy working on the Linux box.

In fact, I misplaced the last \n. The filter should then be rewritten as…

Code:

s|(<body[^>]*>)|$1\n<base target="_blank">\n|sg

Good to know you're happy.
