Using this in ABE:

========
Site *.yahoo.com *.yimg.com
Accept from *.yahoo.com *.yimg.com
Deny
===========

At: http://www.ritholtz.com/blog/2010/12/se ... -for-rich/, I clicked on a link that takes me to a finance.yahoo.com page ( http://finance.yahoo.com/tech-ticker/se ... 35718.html )

But I get this error msg from NS:

Request {GET http://finance.yahoo.com/tech-ticker/se ... 35718.html <<< http://www.ritholtz.com/blog/2010/12/se ... -for-rich/, http://www.ritholtz.com/blog/2010/12/se ... -for-rich/ - 6} filtered by ABE: <*.yahoo.com *.yimg.com> Deny

WHY am I getting this error msg? Doesn't the ABE entry *.yahoo.com cover this?

Was hoping someone could help on this!

Since this doesn't work and no one is able to help, I have removed all ABE statements.

ABE appears to be too complex for average users and doesn't appear to work as described in the limited documentation.

Change the last line to "Deny INC" The rule was behaving correctly, albeit unintuitively, blocking top level navigations from ritholtz to yahoo. I brought this up before, that nearly always people want to block subrequests (INC) and not top level navigations. Ideally subrequest allow/blocking would be the default, and the less common top level blocking require additional syntax. But for that, the ABE language would need to be versioned.

Thanks for the help. Your suggestion appears to do what I originally hoped to accomplish.
