^^ Just another website that completely stopped working on SM 8-(
-
andr01d
Even w/ JS enabled, it's just 404
-
njsg
... 404?
-
njsg
ah 403, smells like UA sniffing
-
njsg
yeah, an iPhone 3.0 UA makes it load
-
njsg
as does a "plain IE" UA...
-
andr01d
Any other browser (since they're all some form of chrome) will work...
-
andr01d
Just a side rant, trying to allow cookies for a domain in modern SM is practically impossible
-
» njsg bangs head on desk
-
njsg
why, WHY did I name this "plain IE", when this entry identifies as "firefox" (literally)
-
andr01d
Until an already allowed domain is selected from the list, the ADD button is greyed out.
-
njsg
andr01d: this is not features, this is plain UA sniffing
-
njsg
andr01d: add a UA override with "firefox", it will work
-
njsg
in about:config, create a string, with name general.useragent.override.responsiblestatecraft.org, value firefox
-
andr01d
Thanks njsg I'll try it... BTW, do I need a plugin? What is the about:config way to add this?
-
njsg
no plugin required for per-domain overrides
-
njsg
but I recommend writing a note somewhere just in case it breaks in the future
-
njsg
they're also using cloudflare, sadly, so some UAs might even trip Cloudflare's stupidity
-
andr01d
OK, I found:
-
andr01d
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.2.1; en-ca; LG-P505R Build/FRG83) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/533.1
-
njsg
"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0b; Windows 98)" got me a cloudflare "blocked" notice
-
njsg
andr01d: you just need "firefox", literally. At least works for me.
-
njsg
ok, this is getting beyond silly. you know what else isn't blocked: NCSA Mosaic, this starts really looking like blacklisting, not whitelisting.
-
njsg
so they're not just whitelisting the bleeding edge (as was already likely given "firefox" works :-D)
-
tomman
Did I mention that Clownflare sucks, guys?
-
tomman
And yet webdevs all over the world are delivering the control of Internet to those morons
-
tomman
I would complain at them, but they would ban me from the Internet under the "HEALTHY WEB STANDARDS ECOSYSTEM" BS banner
-
njsg
nonono
-
njsg
the proper way to complain something is broken in cloudflare is to sign in their reporting system
-
njsg
and write a message
-
njsg
it's at news.ycombinator.com
-
andr01d
The Mozilla/5.0 string above does restore functionality for me at responsiblestatecraft. Thanks njsg!
-
andr01d
I'm aware of UA strings, I just thought that was a 1990s thing. didn't realize website were still choosing to block certain browsers specifically
-
andr01d
I did write tham, but I wrote back in Feb too, when the site suddenly stopped working for me.
-
andr01d
I never got a response...
-
andr01d
I still want to complain about the SM "Cookie Manager", adding an exception to the block rule is just too convoluted...
-
andr01d
Arrgggg 8-/ This UA string is fucking up more websites than it fixes. Does anyone know of a SM way to spoof UA string only for specific websites?
-
njsg
andr01d: what did you set exactly? did you create the preference with the name I gave you?
-
njsg
it should affect only responsiblestatecraft.org
-
andr01d
njsg, making the string just "firefox" sems to be giving me the best of both worlds.
-
andr01d
I set general.useragent.override in about:config
-
andr01d
How do you make it website specific?
-
njsg
0605|18:13:33 <+njsg> in about:config, create a string, with name general.useragent.override.responsiblestatecraft.org, value firefox
-
andr01d
When I set general.useragent.override to just "firefox" responsiblestatecraft is working, and the other sites don't seem to be affected...
-
andr01d
Ahhh, that line wrapped in my reader and I missed the domain at the end...
-
andr01d
Thanks! That's a great trick...
-
njsg
yeah, convenient
