Request help with http modify response

Just to clarify, is the gnome.org page supposed to have the browser warning even with the working filter?

Yes, the page https://discourse.gnome.org/ has that browser warning even with the working filter, but without that filter the page does not load correctly.

New updates for the add-on Intercept & Modify HTTP Response (including download links) will be posted here:

https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=32889

The latest version (at this time) is 4.5

I installed 4.5, but I havě a problem getting it to work. First there is no "preferences" button in the add-ons manager and when I go directly to chrome://modify_http_response/content/filters_manager.html I can't save a new filter. What am I doing wrong?

1. This add-on does not have "preferences." It only works by clicking or right-clicking on the add-on button:

2. See Screenshots for the steps to add a new filter in "Filters Manager":

Search = "http modify response"
Replace = "Intercept & Modify HTTP Response"

Hello tellu-white. I've read your earlier post on how to delete single filters. The process is a bit convoluted. There's always the option to manually intervene in prefs.js and that's a bit risky too.

So, if you think it's possible and helpful perhaps you could consider adding an UI option for this that will quickly and safely delete single entries, next to the "Delete All Filters" option?

Although I understand that the whole concept of filters/entries/pairs/arrays might make this difficult, if not impossible.

Not all users make a backup for each new workaround added, and some users convert filters made for "Modify HTTP Response (JustOff)" into filters for "Intercept & Modify HTTP Response (Tellu White)". After conversion, the resulting string will contain many filters for multiple workarounds, making it practically impossible for most users to extract from that string only the substring corresponding to the filter(s) they want to delete. As a result, there must be a rule for selecting the filter(s) to be deleted. If this rule is to use "host", then there may be several filters that have the same "host" but different "paths". It is possible that you want to keep a filter with a certain combination of "host" + "path" (for a different workaround), so in this case, deleting all filters that have the same "host" (the rule taken into account) is not a good decision. In this case, the combination "host" + "path" can be used as the rule for deleting filters, but then things get complicated because two or more filters will have to be specified, not just one. There is also the possibility that two filters with different "hosts" are needed for a workaround to work.

In conclusion, the least risky solution is to select the filters to be deleted visually, in "Filters Manager". Since the "Filters Manager" page is actually an HTML page, it is easy to search for a specific filter using the "Find Toolbar".

Important! It is not good practice to manually modify the "prefs.js" file.

The very first sentence and link in that topic is misleading (it directs users right back here), so you might consider asking a mod to remove/edit it if you can't do it any more.

You're right. My wording there wasn't quite the best.

I can't edit that post anymore, and I don't know the procedure (the steps required) to do so.

You can either:

a) Send a PM to a Moderator

b) Use the Report button (exclamation mark) in that post, pick "...does not fit into any other category.." and enter details in the 'Further information' field.

Thank you, back2themoon, I'll do it next year

Happy New Year to you and your family!
