uri-tester: do not block on rules we do not handle (830 bytes, patch)

Description Jan Holthuis 2013-10-30 08:16:06 UTC
Doodle.com is a Internet calendar tool for time management, and coordinating meetings.

If Epiphany's built-in adblocker is enabled, it does not display contents for an appointment pool or the poll wizard. If I disable the adblocker, doodle.com works fine.
Firefox + Adblock Plus and Chomium + Adblock Plus do not have this Problem.

Example page that is not correctly displayed:
http://doodle.com/polls/wizard.html

Dupe of #710661 ?
Comment 2 Claudio Saavedra 2013-10-30 12:29:59 UTC
Possibly. Jan, can you try the workaround in bug 710661?
Comment 3 Jan Holthuis 2013-11-04 12:51:29 UTC
I tried the workaround in bug #710661, but it didn't fix it for me.

Adblock Plus in Firefox uses this filter list:
https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easylistgermany+easylist.txt
Checksum: 4m0Wi5q74OiqB/HJV9rQ9g
Version: 201311041230

Also, I disabled "Allow acceptable Ads" (see https://adblockplus.org/en/acceptable-ads).
The doodle.com example page (http://doodle.com/bspbg7u75gu4xkh9) works fine.

I changed epiphany's "filters.list"-file accordingly:

$ ls  ~/.config/epiphany/adblock/
16c61c1fb2095d0c44a9c6441113d772  filters.list

$ head -n 3  ~/.config/epiphany/adblock/16c61c1fb2095d0c44a9c6441113d772 
[Adblock Plus 2.0]
! Checksum: 4m0Wi5q74OiqB/HJV9rQ9g
! Version: 201311041230

$ cat  ~/.config/epiphany/adblock/filters.list 
https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easylistgermany+easylist.txt;

But still no success, doodle.com's example page does not work.

Bug 710661 was marked as solved even with the main issue still there. Some websites are being made unusable. I still have the same problem with http://imgur.com/ and http://softpedia.com after an update. I do not want to edit that rules file every time an update changes it. And Firefox/Chrome do not have that problem, I think there must be a problem the way epiphany handles specific adblock rules.

uri-tester: do not block on rules we do not handle

I once debugged a problem I had with imgur.com and narrowed it to rules containing a domain= specifier, here is a quick patch, it doesn't implement correct support but prevents Epiphany from blocking too much.
