Loading Failed message in Browser Console for Surrogate

Post by skkukuk »

I have a surrogate setup for googleapis.com's jquery.min.js - and in the Browser Console, I see this error message:

Loading failed for the <script> with source “https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/j ... ery.min.js

I am not sure if that messages means my surrogate is not loading properly - or if that message is issued because I have googleapis.com blocked, which is what triggers the surrogate to be loaded. Put another way, is there any way to tell in firefox consoles or logs when a noscript surrogate is being loaded and used?

Background info:

Using Firefox 56.0.2 on Windows 8 with NoScript 5.1.8.4
I have a Deny rule in ABE for: Site .googleapis.com
Surrogate Info:
noscript.surrogate.googleapis171.sources: ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js
noscript.surrogate.googleapis171.replacement: file:///C:/DataFiles/FireFoxNoScriptSurrogateFiles/ajax.googleapis.com_ajax_libs_jquery_1.7.1_jquery.min.js

If I put the js itself into the replacement, rather than using a file - the same message is issued.

Thanks for any help!

The error message means exactly what it says, i.e. the URL "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/j ... ery.min.js" failed to load. If you are using a local surrogate for this script, that's exactly what you want to happen, isn't it? Your surrogate script is set up to run in place of the real script when the real script is blocked, so you want the script to fail to load, so that your surrogate kicks in and is used instead, see? :)

BTW, your NoScript is outdated. Please upgrade to latest NoScript Classic from https://noscript.net/getit (5.1.9 at time of writing).
*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!

Thanks for fast reply! That is what I was hoping the message meant, so now I will move on to the next level of debugging. Also, thank you for letting me know my NS is not up to date. I will update later this weekend.
