Strictness: Base Domain acts like Full Domain on 0.5.28b1 even #379

Open ghost opened 11 years ago

This happened after I updated my addons to latest (was stable latest) then I tried the beta and it's the same. looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/xwsvU11.png instead of just "cloudfront.net" which I already had allowed, so a site like instagram doesn't load now after the update.

Changing Strictness to Full Domain has no effect, as if Base and Full are doing the same thing as Full does.

wait, actually there also was a firefox update from 21.0 to 22.0 maybe this caused this, because the stable requestpolicy seems to be from 2012 so it's unlikely that it was one of the addons that got updated (thought other addons probably did with the firefox update)

I am having the same issue since updating to Firefox 22.0. This happens with Cloudfront URLs and also some Amazon.com URLs.

Same behaviour with a 0.5.27. Another solution would be to allow *.cloudfront.net in the whitelist.

I tried that in Whitelist->Destinations, I put *.cloudfront.net but no effect, is that what you meant? I currently don't have any workaround

The problem is with Firefox 22. Just upgraded (from Iceweasel 10) and noticed this problem.

ghost commented 11 years ago

I believe you, but exactly why that happens is something I'd like to know very much, but don't have the tech expertise to dig into it... I'd appreciate if someone would and share it

Now here is something weird: I downgraded from Firefox 22 to 18, and RequestPolicy became slightly less strict: it recognizes "cloudfront.net" rightly as the base domain (not blabla.cloudfront.net), but still takes "ajax.googleapis.com" and "bp.blogspot.com" as base domains. I don't know in which Firefox version these problems started (I didn't try other versions because my connection is really slow (~6kB/s) most of the time and it would take a lot of time to download each version). In FF/Iceweasel 10, everything works fine.
