How to identify HTTP referer issues? Topic is solved

[back2themoon]

Found a website where its embedded Facebook videos (1st video here) will only work if I disable the Referrer Control extension (mostly standard settings, nothing too aggressive).

I'm trying to pinpoint exactly what is being blocked in an attempt to create a specific exclusion, but have no idea where/how to look. I've found this suggestion online:

To check the Referer in action go to Inspect Element -> Network check the request header for Referer...

...but failed to locate this (or anything referer-related) in Pale Moon's Inspector (also failed on other browsers). Any ideas?

Thanks

edit: Actually, these embeds are "Facebook Watch". Probably different than your regular FB embed.

The "inspect" is just a way to open the devtools.
Just hit F12, then find the "network" tab in the devtools. For each networking request that is made you can inspect the headers by clicking the row, which will include the referrers (for navigation actions like documents).

Thank you, Moonchild. I think I've solved it by changing the already present exclusion from:

Code: Select all

Source: *.facebook.com
Target: *.fbcdn.net

to:

Code: Select all

Source: *.facebook.com/*
Target: *.fbcdn.net/*

Main website (tvxs.gr) was not relevant as I initially thought. Or maybe it is, since those asterisks can contain anything I guess. Perhaps I should try limiting it.
