[RESOLVED] 3rd party images

Post by Pok »

I have a situation where on a site originating from subdomain.somesite.com I need/want to load images from subdomain2.somesite.com.
In (local) DNS I have configured subdomain2.somesite.com to pint to a local IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.1).
If I enable NoScript, the images will not load.
If I disable NoScript, the images will load.
This is reproducable „ad infinitum”.
I have both domains and the IP white-listed.
If I open the page properties and paginate the images on the „Media” tab:
- on first pass all images show up as „not in cache” and
- on subsequent passes the images show up.
What's more, after I close the page information dialog, the images do show up on the page too - at least for a while.
The same happens if I use local files (the „file://” scheme) instead of the subdomain2.somesite.com domain (and the „http://” scheme) - with the „Enable local links” option on the ”White listed” tab ticked, of course.
I have looked at the loading performance graph of the web developer tools: the images are not even tried to be loaded.
What gives - what do I need to do to make NoScript not block loading files under the circumstances mentioned?
This is all the more frustrating as other sites pointing to 3rd party images, after whitelisting do show up as extected; though in this case no private IP classes are involved - of course.

It's likely related to ABE (NoScript Options > Advanced > ABE). Please post here the console message(s) from ABE as suggested by therube.
(Note that disabling ABE is much unsafe, it's only good as a test.)

Well, it was ABE.
I created a (1st SYSTEM) rule:

Site subdomain2.somesite.com
Accept from http://subdomain.somesite.com

and I have no more problems.
Thanks for your pointers.
