Content of killed.html shown as text - femp1345 - Nov. 26, 2011 05:23 PM

Hello,

I noted that the html codes in killed.html is shown as text rather than like a web page.

Using the header filter:
URL-Killer: kill-a-URL (out)

Replacement:
URL killed \k

Proxomitron ver 4.5
Browser: Firefox 7

Is this a browser issue or ... ?

I don't think so.
Open the Proxomitron's log window, enable "Local file requests",
what is the Content-Type header for "killed.html"?

From the log, I think the ad is killed by the filter "URL-Killer"
And the replaced local file is treated as text/plain by Proxomitron (Content-Type)

Interesting, for what address is the Proxomitron returning a local file that is Content-type: text/plain?

I set the URL-Killer to block everything.

The Log looks like:

I can see that the Proxomitron caught the request and returned a local file, Content-type: text/html.
Browser displays empty page, source code is

Code:
<!--//--><html><head><title>Connection Killed!</title></head></html>

When I requested something that might be an image

the proxomitron returned a local file, Content-type: image/gif aka killed.gif.

I'll guess, the blocked address does not appear to be an image and that the Proxomitron returns "killed.html", Content-type: text/html.
However, the browser is expecting a file for a dynamic element or an image and displays the contents of "killed.html".

If so, you may need to provide a more appropriate file, no file, or filter some code in the page's html.

HTH

Thank you for the reply.

It was noted in a few ads. One of it being over a flash player.

I modified the killed.html to a single character which eliminated most of the problems..., except in some banner-like ads which are filled with a completely opaque background.
