[Solved] NoScript detects Scripts, but there are NO Scripts!

Post by Wild Bits »

I wrote an empty HTML page with only two lines:

<html>
</html>

When I load this page with Firefox 3.6.8 and NoScript 2.0.1, NoScript claims in the status line, that there is "1 script" and shows his icon in the upper left corner with the text

http://bm1.ch/.split(
http://bm1.ch/?

I can not understand that!
And by the way, I have never seen this message on any pages before NoScript Version 1.9... or so. In the last time, this "./split(" message appears very often.
I tried to remove all rules in NoScript - nothing changes.

Could someone please explain to me what "./split(" means and why it appears on my simple - emty! - page with no content and NO scripts?

Thanks, Ueli

Very likely, by your symptoms, something (an extension, a proxy, an external "security software", a personal firewall or your ISP) is injecting some script inside every page you open.
Try to put some text inside your page, then use the Edit|Select All command, right click on the selection and use the contextual View selection source command.

Thank you for your answer Giorgio,

I found the sinner - it is the Internet Download Accelerator Plugin 1.4.1!

Summary:
No effect: Switching off securtiy software or similar. Filling the empty HTML page with text. Changing the internet access to an other provider.
Effect: Filling the HTML page with a simple link only. Or: Deaktivate the Internet Download Accelerator Plugin 1.4.1!

Looking back to the time "...before NoScript Version 1.9... or so" I remember, that I have updated IDA from a previous version with which everything was ok.

Perhaps it makes sense, to have a conversation with the developers at WestByte?
