Script doesn't answer due to Watchdog

Post by Starsplash »

Hello!

Everytime I enter studivz.net and want to start an App, there is an error message whereby I have to choose stopping a script or not! The error occured by requestWatchdog appears everytime not only on studivz.net. How can I solve the problem (where do I deactivate the Watchdog)?

Thanks a lot.

Could you annotate also the line where the slowing down is reported?
And if you choose to stop the script, does any [NoScript XSS] line appear in your Tools|Error Console?

Here is the non-answering script:

"Skript: chrome://noscript/content/RequestWatchdog.js:1248"

What shall I do??

Could you also use "Stop script" and show me the [NoScript XSS] line(s) you should find in Tools|Error Console?

Hello!

Here is the message from the error console:
[NoScript DOS] Aborted potential DOS attempt: {GET http://studivz.gadgets.apivz.net/gadget ... =512790402 <<< http://www.studivz.net/Gadgets/Overview, http://www.studivz.net/Gadgets/Overview - 7}
(function () {return this.filterXSS(abeReq);})
Followed by the script message on the display:
Script: chrome://noscript/content/RequestWatchdog.js:1248
sorry, but there was no line number there. But maybe you can make head or tail of it?! ;)

Obviously it's not associated with a XSS error but DOS attempt. Important to mention is that the above console message appears before I click "stop script". After this there was no message at all.

What's the matter with the script? Why there is an error? And could you explain what's the function of requestWatchdog?!

Grateful

The line is 1248, but it's really a weird place for this to happen because (in current NoScript version) it's a function called just one time in all the browser lifetime and has never gave performance issues.
Which NoScript version are you using?
Does you problem persist with latest development build and/or on a clean profile with just NoScript?

I'm using the newest version of NoScript (1.9.9.87). I took your advice and installed the newest beta (1.9.9.90) but it's the same: The error message occured and I terminated the script! Then I deactivated all the other addons but no effect! :o

Is it possible to ask the noscript-team to resolve the problem? I don't know what to do to make the behaviour of NoScript fluent.

Again, this shouldn't happen at all, and especially not at that line.

However you can work-around by adding the following line to your NoScript Options|Advanced|XSS exceptions box:

Code: Select all

Ok, thanks, with this exception it works! Also quicker browsing...

But you say, that line shouldn't appear. Obviously it does. So anywhere must be an inconsistence! Maybe in sooner versions the error is eliminated. ;)

Thanks a lot.
