Sometimes I need the link to help. Not necessary this time. Removing it seems like the wise thing to do. Links and files are checked for problems. But even if a link is harmless now, it may not be in the future.

It is not in Scott's docs. http://sidki.proxfilter.net/prox/sidki-etc/ReadMe.txt under "Importing URL Header Filters"

My header filters need to have a specific order. 'URL:' style headers break this order. '!:' preserves correct order. A '!:' header was not actually created.

Also confuses people.

Code:

[HTTP headers]
In = FALSE
Out = FALSE
Key = "URL: Change position"
URL = "http://prxbr.com/members/materials/stream2.php?file=0017m/medium/0001&position=0"
Replace = "http://prxbr.com/members/materials/stream2.php?file=0017m/medium/0001&position=12345"

& is a matching character. You tried to match http://prxbr.com/members/materials/stream2.php?file=0017m/medium/0001 AND position=0
You need to escape it like \&.

? is also a matching character but since it matches any one character failing to escape it rarely breaks a match.

So, try

Code:

[HTTP headers]
In = FALSE
Out = TRUE
Key = "URL: Change position"
URL = "http://prxbr.com/members/materials/stream2.php\?file=0017m/medium/0001\&position=0"
Replace = "http://prxbr.com/members/materials/stream2.php?file=0017m/medium/0001&position=12345"
