[RESOLVED] ABE going mad

Post by Ariana »

So, I have the following on my ABE ruleset:

Site .facebook.com
Accept INCLUSION from SELF++
Deny

Site .facebook.net
Accept INCLUSION from SELF++
Accept INCLUSION from .facebook.com
Deny

Site .fbcdn.net
Accept INCLUSION from SELF++
Accept INCLUSION from .facebook.com
Deny

However, I can't access facebook.com (doesn't even let me download the HTML page), although it is set to accept inclusion from self. Is ABE going mad or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

ABE is not going mad. You are doing something wrong, I'm afraid.

INCLUSION refers to resources being included in a page (like images). The site in the address bar is not being 'included'; it is the main page.

None of your rules allows Facebook to be the main page. You're only allowing it to be 'included'.

Instead of 'Accept INCLUSION from SELF++', try using just 'Accept from SELF++'.
