ABE warning when reloading a page
Posted: Fri Nov 27, 2009 11:40 pm
I've been receiving ABE warnings for a while in situations where I don't think they are justified.
For example, the following just happened to me:
Dramatis personae:
I never get this error when I load the page from laptop in a fresh (blank) tab with no previous history. What does the previous page have to do with the one I'm reloading? The browser isn't sending any referer information in this case, and I can't think of anything else that could go wrong simply by reloading a page.
I've seen the hosts file mentioned as a possible culprit, and indeed, desktop has about 10 names pointing to 127.0.0.1, and also an entry for laptop pointing to 192.168.X.Y (wiki.company.com is resolved via DNS). By the way, I'm not using the hosts file in order to avoid ad sites, like it was mentioned in the NoScript FAQ, but rather to target different virtual hosts on laptop and desktop.
Is there a reason why I would get an ABE warning in this situation?
And is there anything I can do to avoid it?
Thanks in advance!

Dramatis personae:
- my workstation: "desktop"
- my laptop: "laptop"
- an external wiki site: "wiki.company.com"
Code: Select all
[ABE] <LOCAL> Deny on {GET http://laptop/test.html <<< https://wiki.company.com/wiki.php?id=abc, https://wiki.company.com/wiki.php?id=abc}
SYSTEM rule:
Site LOCAL
Accept from LOCAL
