[RESOLVED] ABE & Facebook

Facebook just added a new Photo Uploader Plugin and I am getting a Local Deny error. When I disable ABE it works fine. Any direction would be most appreciated.

Can I see the whole message (i.e. the [NoScript ABE] line you get in Tools|Error Console)?

This is what I now have:
# Facebook Photo Uploader Plugin exception
Site http://127.0.0.1:3018/photos/uploader_iframe.php
Accept from *.facebook.com

# Prevent Internet sites from requesting LAN resources.
Site LOCAL
Accept from LOCAL
Deny
But I received a new error with a different port?
Thanks for your patience and help BTW!

Thanks, I updated the same FAQ to reflect your further finding (they use random ports).

Hi Giorgio,

My ABE System Ruelset looks like this now:
# Facebook Photo Uploader Plugin exception
Site http://127.0.0.1:*/photos/uploader_iframe.php
Accept from *.facebook.com

# Prevent Internet sites from requesting LAN resources.
Site LOCAL
Accept from LOCAL
Deny
I am still getting the error - though when I disable the System setting, I have no trouble.

What about

Code: Select all

Site 127.0.0.1
Accept from *.facebook.com
?

Yep - that did it! Thanks.

FWIW, the ultimate (most restrictive yet effective rule) should be:

Code: Select all

# Facebook Photo Uploader Plugin exception
Site http://127.0.0.1:*/photos/uploader_iframe.php?*
Accept from *.facebook.com
Can you confirm?

Thanks! I made that adjustment too and it works as well.

Am having precisely this issue, but am a complete novice on NoScript. To install the ABE fix, am I to Refresh/Enable or Import/Export/Reset or ....?? Thank you.

You've got to edit the SYSTEM ruleset as explained in FAQ 8.11

Thank you. When I click Edit I get a Windows popup that says
Windows cannot open this file
File: SYSTEM.abe
To open this file, Windows needs to know what program created it...etc.

Select the program from a list and choose Notepad, it will work.
