Problem with "\h"

[z12]

Hi all,

Unless I'm doing something wrong, \h seems to have an issue when working with domain names that have a two letter country code fot the TLD. That is it cant tell the difference between "theage.com.au" and "news.com.au" .

In particular one of my header filter is having problems not detecting that the host has changed.

If I goto:

http://www.cnn.com/

and click on one the article links for time magazine at the bottom, either filter works.

Also at the same site, clicking on the Navigation link to sports, your redirected, but its to a .cnn.com domain so the filter allows it, (which is what I want).

Code:

[HTTP headers]
In = TRUE
Out = FALSE
Key = "Location: 2. Show HTML Redirects (in)"
Match = "\1$IHDR(Content-Type: text/(html|plain))$RESP(30*)&\w://(^\h)"
Replace = "http://local.ptron/redir.html?dest=\1"

[HTTP headers]
In = FALSE
Out = FALSE
Key = "Location: 3. Show HTML Redirects (in)"
Match = "$RESP(30*)$IHDR(Content-Type: text/(html|plain))(https+://)\1(^\h) \2"
Replace = "http://local.ptron/redir.html?dest=\1\2"

However, if I go here:

http://www.theage.com.au/

and click on any article there, the filter doesn't catch the redirection. Clicking on an article there redirects you to a different host to login. I have tried various versions of these filters and they all have a problem with that site.

So my conclusion is that \h doesn't work right. I hope I'm wrong and somebody can show me what I'm doing wrong.

I will attempt to post the htlm code that the filter uses in the replacement section, if you'd like to check it out. You'll have to rename to redir.html and put it in proxo's html directory to make it work.

P.S. As a side note, when I went to "theage.com.au" I got javascript cookie with the domain of ".com.au"
Firefox will happily send that cookie from "theage" to "news.com.au"
