Re: Z-X, Thanks for the step by step help Zhen, Thanks for the update. Gotta say I am glad I didn't give up on it. It works like a champ on my new system. I like the toolbar, and some of the pulldowns - sometimes, trying to get a hang of them.
I don't know if anyone else has done this. Please excuse me if it has been posted before. As with the last version I take your default config file and modify it for different levels of filtering. I save them as "light", "medium", "heavy", etc. Kind of like different levels of trust. Then I right click on the sys tray icon and select the config of choice for different sites that I don't want to give full trust or BYPASS. Works quite well for me.
A big thumbs up to you for all the fine work you have done on this and the information you pass along to all of us. It is a great help. |

Bordentown, NJ | Yes, that is another way to utilize Proxomitron... If you want to share what you've done, please do so. I don't use that feature.
What I do instead is use the blockfiles. I enter in URLs in blockfiles that certain filters use. And when those URLs are encountered, either the filters are disabled or enabled.
Thanks Flippant for staying with it!! |

IMPROVEMENTS:
Header Filters

•*XML(IN)
•*XSL(IN)
Reason for Improvements
said by Zhen-Xjell:
I had a fever to devise a filter for Proxo to catch web paqes with .xml, .eml, and .xsl extensions. Turned out, those pages were of the "plain/text" type, which Proxo was not filtering. I quickly wrote up new filters that hadn't existed previously to turn "plain/text" pages into "plain/html" which Proxo does filter. At this point, Proxo filtered everything out, even with ActiveX scripting enabled. Proxo now caught the bugger, and I passed.
Just the idea of Internet Explorer having so many bugs, makes me not trust that solution nor any other solution other than Proxomitron. Why?
Proxomitron acts as a local proxy and GETs the connections your browser sends out for. Upon RESPonse, Proxy reads the HEADER of each connection and decides how to handle passing it through to your browser.
Proxo's filters, as I just learned, filters pages that are "plain/html" content as assigned in the HEADER. Now that I've found certain contents like "plain/text" can get through un-noticed, I changed it to make Proxo notice them.

Up yours!

| Okay, I nabbed Z-X's latest default. Is there some sort of help file somewhere that explains what all these new filters are? I'm just starting to get the hang of Proxo, but I've got a huge learning curve in front of me.
