PWB 2.11 and url.txt

[vcl]

We are using PWB v2.11 on our public library catalogs with our catalog address as an approved address in the url.txt file. The catalog opens fine and searching works fine. However, we also provide enhanced content through some third-party vendors. I have added their top-level urls in the url.txt file followed by an * as a wild-card hoping we could see all of the summaries and reviews, i.e. http://contentcafe2.btol.com/*. When I click on the "Reviews and Summaries" link in our catalog, it opens a new window and follows the link to http://contentcafe2.btol.com/* to get the enhanced content associated with the title displayed. The link opens in the spawned windows with links to "Summary", Cover Image", "Product Details" and "Reviews", but when you click on any of those links, nothing happens.
I can't see what url the window points to when you click on any of those links. How can I allow this additional enhanced content without knowing or allowing all other urls?

PWB uses Regular Expressions and with these you need to combine an "*" with another qualifier.

Instead of using the "*", just add the URL as PWB also matches when a URL contains the string.

For example:
+http://contentcafe2.btol.com

Will match on any URL that contains "http://contentcafe2.btol.com".

There are several tools you can use to build your filter file, here is a discussion of some of them.
