"res://" in URL.txt

Post by GregP »

Hey Everyone,

One of our computers kicked a customer out today because it flagged something they were looking at as excluded in our URL.txt file.

Now what they were looking at was fine, but the log file showed me that IE had attempted grab one of its standard error messages off the hard drive from a dll - "res://c:\..." and the "c:\" was in our URL.txt

I have two questions regarding this:

1) I was under the impression that entries in the URL.txt file caused PWB to display the block message (which it did) and then stop. Not to close PWB and boot them out. Does this seem unusual behaviour? It happened to them twice in a row.

2) My first thought was to add '+res://' to URL.txt, but I thought I'd ask if anyone has already done this and it exposed them to other problems? I don't want to create a definitive list of dlls to allow from the hard drive, but I will if I have to.

Ta,
Greg

You should add "+res://" to your URL filter file to prevent this error.

There is a bug in PWB caused by canceling the IE Webbrowser control browse to the internal IE resources.

This will be corrected in PWB v2.05.
