[Answered] What happened with NoScript json options xssBlockUnscannedPOST and xssScanRequestBody

Post by pal1000 »

I have a relatively old noscript_data.txt from 10.6.2 release candidates period backed up with these 2 options: xssScanRequestBody is true and xssBlockUnscannedPOST is false.
I also noticed that a fresh copy of Noscript 10.6.3rc7 doesn't create these options in its configuration json anymore and there is no UI element in NoScript Options page that could set them. If I remember well there were UI elements that controlled those options in 10.6.2 release candidates. Could it be those options were related to the workaround for https://bugzil.la/1532530 that was nuked in 10.6.2 stable? If so do they still have some effect if left alone?

After looking at the commit which removed the workaround, I am quite sure that these options don't have any effect anymore.

No, they don't indeed.

Thanks both for answering. It looks like my guess was right. I marked this question topic as answered.
