https and a whitelist

Hi:
We are using PWB on our catalog PCs. We also have Fortres on these machines, but I don't think that's the culprit here. We use a white list to limit patons to our catalog and databases (no internet surfing, no e-mail). Where we encounter a problem is when a patron tries to log into their library record, which uses an https:// prefix. It just blocks us out completely...black and white "This page cannot be displayed" message. I have tried adding the url like so: +https://library.minlib.net/patroninfo/
but still no go. suggestions? appreciatively, Smr

Enable the debug access string in the PWB INI file. This will display a dialog with the URL that is being blocked.

[Security]
...
DebugAccessString=True
...

The page indicated uses JavaScript, ensure you have +JavaScript in the URL filter file.

Also note, if you do not have an access message file specified in your INI file, PWB will not display the access dialog and just block the page.
