[2.8.11] Pattern: "http://host*" says no wildcard used

Tue, 01/20/2009 - 00:25 — DaveQB

Hi,

I tried to add the pattern:

http://host*

But FoxyProxy warns no wildcard was used and I am asking for an exact match.

Needless to say, accessing:

http://host/~user fails to meet this pattern I have added.

Thanks

Ver 2.8.11 on Firefox 2.0.0.20 Vista
Ver 2.8.11 on Firefox 3 TinyME [PCLinuxOS derivative]

intresting problem

this appears more of an issue with firefox handling websites.
you entered above http://host* but when used as a link it's displayed as http://host*/ & i am thinking firefox is doing this automatically
I can't recreate the problem you listed above using what you gave me alone, but I am using foxyproxy 2.8.11 ff 3.05 on both xp vista & Ubuntu Linux & you said you need to access http://host/~user & it doesn't work if you could try a pattern of http://host/* instead of http://host* & reply if that works

Yeah, I also suspect that you should be using http://host/* instead.

I only just got an email notification about this follow up. Hence my slow reply.

Thanks again.
