[WebSec-users] Privoxy / WebSec

[David Bullock]

Wow that was great -  if one of you guys could show me how to generate a 
patch I'd be happy to do it myself if I ever come up with something 
useful again.

I have a problem I was wrestling with lastnight and didn't get very 
far.  I'm trying to run websec v1.7.0 through privoxy 
<http://www.privoxy.org/> . Privoxy is a fork of Junkbuster.  I'm using 
the filtering rules in Privoxy to eliminate not just ads, but some of 
the noise in various pages I visit.    Unfortunately when I setup the 
proxy, websec tells me that it can't retrieve the pages.  Does anyone 
else have this combination working? 

I want to use websec through it for a couple of reasons.  

First, I want to minimize false hits, and I can eliminate some of the 
dynamic noise on pages using Privoxy's filtering rules .for example, I 
websec http://slashdot.org/search.pl and I can filter out the random 
quote at the bottom of the page. 

Second, I have a few pages (tomshardwareguide, and imdb) that when 
websec'd crash my mail client (Thunderbird).  I have some suspicions 
about what the cause is, and I'd like to try to use Privoxy to remove 
the offending code before it gets mailed to my client.
