JD -
In your "====JAVASCRIPT" section, it appears that you are using the Bypass-Start-End blocklist and not Allow-JS.  Allow-JS appears only in Block Browser Info in JS (Misc.) {5.d}.  What's the rationale - isn't Allow-JS intended for these filters?

I'm digging into these filters more as I try to reduce my reliance on IE security settings and increase what Proxo does for me.
THANKS

Doh! I'm sorry about that.

JD - no problem, man!  I'm so far ahead because of your config, a little time spent in the Help files is good for me.  I learned a lot about matching syntax - but there's much more to learn!  Thanks for your help and keep up the good work.

Altosax - good point; at this stage, as a newbie, I'm erring on the cautious side.  Also, running WinXP/IE6, I'm a little concerned about what mischief MS might try to pull.  I've seen some recent threads about MS Updates with questionable intent when it comes to my privacy.  Finally, if I don't use the User Agent header filter, this is what my browser sends:  

"User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Q312461)"

I believe the last "word" in the string refers to a patch that's been applied... this seems to be pretty detailed tracking of the browser version.

Ok, got it... after lots of futzin - it ain't easy being a newbie!

The blocklist is Allow-UA (not Allow-User Agents).  Need to update URL Match in both rules:

User-Agent: Default - IE/Mac (Out) {5.d}
     >> (^$LST(DumbSites)|$LST(Allow-UA))

User-Agent: Dumb Sites (Fake IE) (Out) {1.d}
     >> ($LST(DumbSites))&(^$LST(Allow-UA))

Hi, JD

I'm having trouble with the IE-imbedded WinXP media player (WMP) playing streaming content.  I've narrowed the cause of the problem to the User-Agent: Default and Dumb Site header filters.  

When the filters are enabled, WMP will not play this radio station: http://www.wnyc.org/asx/wnycam.asx; when they are BOTH disabled, it plays fine.  I've examined the logs and the unfiltered "conversation" is a little wacky, with a couple unexpected calls to other domains (e.g., publicbroadcasting.net, akamaistream.net).  On these requests, the User-Agent is NSPlayer and Windows-Media-Player.  I suspect those hosts might be confused by the generic User-Agents that your filters supply (I've added wnyc.org to Dumb Sites.txt - doesn't fix).  

Does there need to be a new BlockList, i.e., WMPList, where streaming sites are added to?  Or a better solution?

Questions and Answers / Help with LL Bean

RESOLVED!  Thanks for your help, guys.

That was a good test, JD.  I removed Proxo as a proxy, going directly to the Internet, and LLBean was still blank.

So, following MorpheusDreamlord's lead, I tried to play with my Java settings.  But I couldn't find a change that seemed to fix the problem.

Then, I simply moved LLBean.com into my Trusted zone and the problem went away.  I'm not precisely sure of the specific setting that has made the difference.  Because I played with the Java settings to no effect, I suspect it might be something else - like Cookies.  I still use IE Cookie security, customized via an XML script (as discussed here http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,2927307~root=security,1~mode=flat).  One major difference between my Trusted and Internet (generic) zones is Trusted will write a 1st-party cookie to disk, while Internet keeps cookies for the session only.  Is it possible that LLBean detects/is confused by this?

Anyway, I'm good for now.  Thanks again!

JD, I've tried your suggestions - still doesn't work!

Just to confirm: are you guys able to access www.llbean.com via your config?

Any other debugging info I can provide?

THANKS -

Hmmm... why would it be a JD config thing?  I guess I figured that since I've Bypassed Proxomitron, it couldn't be his configuration.  I am sure that I don't know how Proxo works well enough.  Isn't it just passing through HTML in Bypass mode?

Hello, All

Proxo newb here - installed about a week ago - having fun, although the wife gets a little frustrated sometimes.

She hasn't been able to shop at L.L. Bean www.llbean.com (not necessarily a bad thing!).  We get just a blank screen.  Even with Proxo disabled (clicked Bypass button on the Main window), cache cleared, and CTRL-F5, we still get just blank.  

Running WinXP, IEv6.  I'm using JD's 7-30 configuration, with the JD5000 set.

Any ideas?  THANKS!
