I'm trying to learn how to do all this "Neat" stuff, but the "curve" is
damned steep (read "cliff-like")
Your first filter sounds REALLY useful, but I have absolutely NO idea
how to do any of the things you tell me to. <S..t>
i.e.
1. How do I "capture the outgoing Cookie header"?
2. Place it in what "Replace box"?
3. Activate what filter OUT? (How and Where)?
4. Where do I find this "never accept cookies" filter?
5. How do I 'insert groups.yahoo.com/ in the URL of "never accept
cookies" filter'?
I will now post a complete step-by-step instruction. Hope it helps.
1. Open your configuration file with a text editor, find the section
[HTTP Headers] and insert the following filter:
In = FALSE
Out = FALSE
Key = "Cookie: (PVT) Y! Groups authorization (YahooID) (out)"
URL = "groups.yahoo.com"
Match = "*|"
Then save the config file.
2. In Proxomitron, press the blue disk icon to reload the config.
3. Log in to Yahoo Groups site.
4. Open the Proxomitron log window, then click any link within the
Yahoo groups site in your browser.
You will see the request of type
+++GET 3+++
GET /group/prox-list/messages/ HTTP/1.0
Cookie: B=c,D=e;F=g;B=c,D=e;F=g;B=c,D=e;F=g;B=c,D=e;F=g;B=c,D=e;F=g;B=c,D=e;
Connection: keep-alive
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows 98) Opera 5.11 [ru]
Host: groups.yahoo.com
Accept: text/html, image/png, image/jpeg, image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, */*
Accept-Language: ru
Accept-Charset: windows-1251,cp-1251
You need the contents of the Cookie header. Just copy the cookie line
from the request.
5. Go to Header Filters. Find the filter "Cookie: (PVT) Y! Groups
authorization (YahooID) (out)", open it and paste the header in the
replace box. You will get something like
Cookie: B=c,D=e;F=g;B=c,D=e;F=g;B=c,D=e;F=g;B=c,D=e;F=g;B=c,D=e;F=g;B=c,D=e;
Do not forget to come at the beginning of the replace field (the
string will be very long) and remove the keyword Cookie:, so that you
see in the Replace box something like this:
B=c,D=e;F=g;B=c,D=e;F=g;B=c,D=e;F=g;B=c,D=e;F=g;B=c,D=e;F=g;B=c,D=e;
Click OK, then save the config.
6. Log out of Yahoo Groups.
7. Open the Header Filters window, find the filter "Cookie: (PVT) Y!
Groups authorization (YahooID) (out)" and enable it for outgoing
connections (put a checkmark in the Out column).
8. Then come back to your favorite group at Yahoo. The server will
recognize you as logged in.
With this filter, you do not have to log on each time, because the
filter sends your cookie to the server each time you come to the
Yahoo groups site.
If you wish to save 100 pixels of screen space, you can do so by
removing the logo and the banner. To do this, open your CFG file with a
text editor, paste the following filters in the [Patterns] section:
Name = "Ads: Yahoo Groups logo and banner (pt1)"
Active = TRUE
URL = "groups.yahoo.com"
Limit = 64
Match = "<BODY bgcolor="FFFFFF" text="000000" > <table"
Replace = "<BODY bgcolor="FFFFFF" text="000000" > <noscript> "
"<script language="ShonenScript">"
"<table"
Name = "Ads: Yahoo Groups logo and banner (pt2)"
Active = TRUE
URL = "groups.yahoo.com"
Limit = 64
Match = "</table> <font size="-1"> "
"<table width="100%" border="0""
Replace = "</table> </script></noscript> "
"<font size="-1"> <table width="100%" border="0""
then save the config and reload it in Proxomitron (blue floppy disk icon)
Hope this helps.
