Talk about a miserable failure.July 23, 2007
MySpace just broke Privoxy
Or maybe that should be the other way around? Anyway, the point is that MySpace recently made some changes that broke the site when used behind a default Privoxy install. After removing all the rules from the site, and then adding them each in one by one until the site broke again, I think it’s because of the session-cookies-only directive. I don’t know why that should matter to anything, but I think MySpace is doing some cookie trickery that’s foiled by removing the expiration from cookies. Anyway, throw this at the bottom of your user.action file:
{-session-cookies-only}

That’s cool. Now about blocking those awful match.com webcam ads….

I think it probably needs some regexp that blocks this:
http://creative.myspace.com/cms/js/ad_wrapper0044.js
Can you think of any?

Something like this could work:
{ +block }
creative.myspace.com/cms/js/ad*

Thanks! But shouldn’t it be creative\.myspace\.com/cms/js/ad*, or did I read this wrong?
