forbidBGRefresh & META redirections

[therube]

forbidBGRefresh & or META redirections (inside NOSCRIPT elements)

just going to ramble ...

on a forum, not allowed, where META redirections kicks in, I would (& do) get a prompt

NoScript blocked a <META> redirection inside a <NOSCRIPT> element

with the option to Follow Redirection.

Clicking to allow the redirection, & prior to .81, the forum page would reload & my post would display (just like here).

With .81, I still get the Follow Redirection prompt, but then it stops, instead of reloading the post.
I am left sitting at this page: http://... .org/forum/post_info.asp. If I attempt to refresh the page, it will attempt to repost my post (a second time). If I use the back arrow, I'm back in the dialog entry box. Kind of in a no move situation point.

Code: Select all

[NoScript] Blocking refresh on unfocused tab, http://... .org/forum/post_info.asp->http://... .org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=33660

Note it says "unfocused" tab, but that is not correct, as focus never changed (just like here).


Allowing the domain, & all works as expected.
Not Allowed, &h with adding a (BG & GB) domain exception, the page still does not reload as expected (though nothing is logged in Error Console)?

Could you check whether the problem persists in latest development build?

Prior to update, I disabled META redirections & there was no change in what I saw.
So that tells me it was forbidBGRefresh.

Update .83.
META enabled. All other forbidBGRefresh at defaults.

Make a post
META warning comes up
Error Console notes:

Code: Select all

[NoScript] Blocking refresh on unfocused tab, http://... .org/forum/post_info.asp->http://... .org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=34277

Allow Follow Redirection
And that's it.
Now sitting at: http://... .org/forum/post_info.asp
A refresh asks to resend
OK
META warning comes up
Allow Follow Redirection
And that's it.
Now sitting at: http://... .org/forum/post_info.asp

& so it repeats.

There was only that initial logging in Error Console. No further warnings on additional loops.

This is on a "Snitz" forum, seemingly an (older) version 3.3.0.5 of that.

Set an noscript.forbidBGRefresh.exceptions for http://... .org/

META warning comes up
Allow Follow Redirection
And that's it.
Now sitting at: http://... .org/forum/post_info.asp

& so it repeats.

So setting the exception made no difference.
Still - There was only that (very first) initial logging in Error Console. No further warnings on additional loops.

Allow http://... .org/

No META warning
No Error Console messages
The post posts & the page reloads as expected.

But, I don't want to (unnecessarily) Allow http://... .org/ ?

And even posting this post logged:

And I just barely caught the refresh.

Ditto for the edit, though the refresh was more apparent.

Still had I not been looking for it, I could easily have missed it.

(Now these happen because there is that <normal> slight delay after a post & before the page refreshes, & in between, I have jumped to another window, Error Console in this case. Had I waited for the refresh to actually occur, then nothing further is logged in Error Console.)

Please check latest development build 1.9.9.84

Looks like that's got it.

Domain not allowed
noscript.forbidMetaRefresh enabled
noscript.forbidBGRefresh*.* at defaults

Still the initial Error Console warning, but after allowing the META redirection, the page (post) reloads as expected.
