Temp/Perm allow does not take effect for some web sites #447

Request Policy 0.5.28

Open link in a new window: http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/darren-wilsons-first-job-was-on-a-troubled-police-force-disbanded-by-authorities/2014/08/23/1ac796f0-2a45-11e4-8593-da634b334390_story.html?utm_content=bufferc45ab&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

4 source servers: www.washingtonpost.com wpdigital.net jwpsrv.com jwpcdn.com

jwpsrv.com and jwpcdn.com were not in whitelist and were blocked. When I selected each domain from the context menu and chose permanently allow the allow was added to the source-to-destination tab in the preferences but the site was still blocked and the context menu still showed it as being blocked.

To get the allow to take effect I had to copy the page link from the URL bar and close the window then open a new window and enter the link.

This has happened to several other sites as well, This bug occurs on about 2% of the pages I visit.

jwpsrv.com jwpcdn.com

These destinations don't show up on my request. Does this depend on the country?

Can you reproduce this bug always on the same website, or is it just random? It would be good to know if this happens…

… in an empty profile of firefox (no other addons installed)
… in RequestPolicy version 1.0 beta (see also RequestPolicyContinued)

jwpsrv.com serves the jwplayer.js

jwpcdn.com serves the actual video content

okay. with javascript activated, when I click on the first picture, I also get those domains

When I selected each domain from the context menu and chose permanently allow the allow was added to the source-to-destination tab in the preferences but the site was still blocked and the context menu still showed it as being blocked.

The context menu shows not the current policy, but the policy used for the last request. This means you have to reload the page. With reloading the page, I can't reproduce this. You need to provide more information, see also the second part of my previous comment. Otherwise this bug (if it is one) can't be solved.
