ABE Anonymize action breaking icons on lots of sites

Post by RobertDrew »

ABE Anonymize action breaks icons on lots of sites. An example is slashdot.org ...

Code: Select all

Site *
Accept from SELF++
Anonymize
Upon navigating to slashdot.org, towards the upper right there's a search field ... this should have a magnifying glass icon on its right side, but instead it shows an invalid/missing character symbol. Other icons on the page are also affected.

The problem in this case is that the Anonymize action is changing a URL as follows:
http://a.fsdn.com/sd/css/app.css?release_20150630
http://a.fsdn.com/sd/css/app.css
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0

Specifically, the Anonymize action strips the query string if it consists of a single GET parameter without a value specified.

So, while the following request gets modified (by removal of the query string):
http://a.fsdn.com/sd/css/app.css?release_20150630

The following requests are allowed to pass unmodified:
http://a.fsdn.com/sd/css/app.css?release_20150630=true
http://a.fsdn.com/sd/css/app.css?releas ... =true&test
http://a.fsdn.com/sd/css/app.css?release_20150630&test

(I could be wrong but I would suspect this is by design...)
*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!
