test WWW site

[Kribiz]

Would someone like to post a simple test site for users to test whether ABE is working?

[Kribiz]

I really wish to test more than whether it is working.
It can be useful for testing other things about ABE behaniour.

Well, you could simply add the following rule:

Code: Select all

Site .example.com
Deny

and then follow this link.

What would you like to test, exactly?

That code gives the error:

line 1:1 no viable alternative at character 'o'

The error I currently wish to test is
that I've seen some failed requests in HTTPFox which have
User-Agent Mozilla/5.0 (ABE, http://noscript.net/abe/wan)

I wonder if that is ABE blocking something and is not a true request. I did not check with a packet sniffer whether the request is truly sent out or whether the browser thinks it made a request but it was really blocked. I want something reproduceable.

I made my own cross site form post to test, and it was not blocked.

That sounds like ABE looking up your WAN IP (your IP adress that websites see). You can check if the request succeeded by going to NoScript Options -> Advanced -> ABE and see if your WAN IP is displayed. For more information, follow the link in that user-agent string.

Indeed, that request is actually coming from ABE. The reasons are documented here.
