JD's config set (updated 08-12-02)

[mapsonx]

Hi JD

quote:BTW, I don't now if I mentioned it, but I modified a filter to do what ACR's blocklist does. Try enabling, "Kill Images on selected pages {3.a}" It even uses ACR's block list

Can you explain advantage of this? Less CPU intensive and/or faster than ACR?  

Anyway, I enabled "Kill Images on selected pages {3.a}" & disabled ACR.  

For test purposes,  Kill Images.txt & BlockList - Images.txt already have Google entries, but there is no apparent effect on Google images---not removed as they are with ACR.

Have not yet activated anything from "AD FILTER SET - OPTION #2"

Are there other adjustments that must be made for this filter to operate

J

No advantege over ACR's block image function... Just useful for those of us that use Ad filter set #2.

Nope, no changes needed. (that I can remember) It should work at google images... I tested it at google & google images/groups..

HELP!  During tweaking ran across site that exhibits strange behavior.
First would never finish loading, but after I disable "Outgoing header filter" to identify offending rule it works fine.  So to confirm I would enable it and it still works fine.

http://www.tvguide.com/Listings/index.asp?I=63114&zip=30062


Before disabling "Out Header" a flash ad near the top does not load , afterwards it does load and continues to load even after enabling "out header".
Site displayed fine with your last ruleset.  The flash ad did not even appear!  Fortunately for me, lucky guess' have worked up until now.
As always appreciate your help.

The page loads fine here.. (Oper6/IE6)

Although, I see what ya mean about that flash ad.. Not to mention the tv show popup windows... Let's try this...

Change the "URL match" for "Kill - comment-surrounded ads {6.d}" to...

$TYPE(htm)(^$LST(Bypass-Ads)|[^/]++.tvguide.*/Listings/)

& change the "Matching Expression" for "Kill - flash ads {5.d}" to...

*(src|value)=$AV(*.swf*)&*(src|value)=$AV($LST(AdList)*)*

Oops, forgot to include that info; W98/IE6.  The page looks fine but all the indicators (globe on top & status bar on bottom) never finished.  
Mentioned in last message that the frame or box didn't show at all in last ruleset, but remembered I was using ACR instead of your ad set (Option #2).  Have since tried using ACR instead of yours with no change.  Don't know if that would make a difference but thought I would throw it into the mix.
I'll add this and give it a try.  Thanks a bunch!

Definitely not operating, verified by debug.  Also tried it at Art Bell (added www.artbell.com to Kill Images.txt).  Works fine with ACR.

Hi, JD
Just installed your filter and installation ran very smoothly.  However, I keep getting "Run time errors" message on some sites using your filter set which don't occur when using a default filter.  Could try these sites and tell me which filter that I should untick

Howdy pandoras_box,

"Run time errors"? I just tried it in IE6 & Mozilla 1.1b, no problems. Can ya give me some more info? What config are ya using? (JD_default, JD_Newbie, JD5000) Are ya using any add-on filters? (The ones marked with, ".a")

Hi JD

I am running WinMe & IE5.5.  I am using the original filter set and have not add any filters.  "Run time errors" problems occurs in JD_default, JD_Newbie and JD5000 filter set except on the default set.  I suspect it has to do with some filters dealing with picture/graphic, because when the sites tries to load some pic/graphic, the run tiem error message would pop up.

Hiya pandoras_box,

I'm sorry to say, I have no idea what could be causing the problem.

If you could, can you dbug the page for me? This is how I would do it..

1. Disable the header filters. (in & out)

     -> If the error still occurs, then it's a web page filter.

     -1. If the problem go's away, then it's a header filter.
     -2. Now, enable the header filters. (in & out)
     -3. Disable one header filter at a time, until the error goes away.
     -4. Try it on the second page
     -5. If no errors, post the problem filter here.


2. Disable the web page filters

     -1. If the problem go's away, then it's a web page filter.
     -2. Now, enable the web page filters. (in & out)
     -3. Disable one web page filter at a time, until the error goes away.
     -4. Try it on the second page
     -5. If no errors, post the problem filter here.

3. If the error still occurs, then put Proxo in bypass mode.

     -1. I would start pounding my head against the table....

NOTE: Use the log to see what filters are matching. That way, you don't have to go through them all.

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?

[JD5000]

Yeah, I meant to do that.. I just forgot.. LoL

Change the "URL Match" to...

(^$LST(DumbSites)|$LST(Allow-UserAgents))

Then add the site to the "Allow-UserAgents" list.

If..

www.wnyc.org/asx/

doesn't work, try...

www.wnyc.org/

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 deporange and jd, or
hi jd and deporange,

what you write is true: that filters work better with an allow list, but when the user actually is REALLY using IE i don't see the reason of fake it as INTERNET EXPLORER.
so i suggest to deporange simply to disable the header filter "fake ie" and use only the filter showing a faked browser (ie-mac, opera-linux and so on) on all sites not listed in dumbsites.txt. this way ^dumbsite=allow.

just my opinion,
altosax.

Hi JD5000.
I missed a filter for flash ads by size in your config set. Hope you like it.

Name = "Kill - flash ads by size"
Active = TRUE
URL = "($TYPE(htm)|$TYPE(js))(^$LST(Bypass-Ads))"
Bounds = "<object*</object>|<embed*</embed>|<params*>"
Limit = 2048
Match = "*(src|value)=$AV(*.swf)*& *$LST(AdDims)"
Replace = "<center><span class=Prox style=display:none;>[Flash ad removed- 9]</span></center>"
