ABE and WebSense

[M. Doyle]

NoScripters:

Where I work, we use Websense Web Security to block some sites and warn about others. Recently, our ruleset has changed to include reader.google.com. I visit this site daily as a part of my job.

When I visit Google Reader in MSIE (or Firefox with a IETab) I get the friendly WebSense page that asks me if I'm sure want to visit a site that might waste my productivity. I can click 'yes' and go about my day.

With AdBlock, I get the little yellow different banner which tells me the following:

Request {GET http://10.1.2.3:1234/cgi-bin/blockpage. ... ssion=5678 <<<http://www.google.com/reader, http://reader.google.com, chrome://browser/content/browser.xul, chrome://browser/content/browser.xul} filtered by ABE: <LOCAL> Deny

Where 10.1.2.3 is my (anonymized) IP of the local WebSense server.

I've read through some of the ABE documentation, but I can't figure out how to unblock the WebSense warn page.

Could someone throw me a bone?

Thanks,

M. Doyle

Open NoScript Options|Advanced|ABE, select the SYSTEM ruleset and edit it to insert in the beginning the following rule:

Code: Select all

Site 10.1.2.3
Accept

Excellent, Mr. Maone. Problem Solved. Thank you.

For the record, I was trying similar productions, but in USER.ABE, not SYSTEM.ABE.
