91785 - need way to block images from entire domains (*.foo.com)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Graphics: Image Blocking, defect)

Description

[Jeremy M. Dolan]

Similar to the feature of the junkbuster proxy, Mozilla needs a way to block
images coming from any site on a domain.

The permission code currently ignores a leading '.' for hosts in cookperm.txt,
this would probably be a decent way to implement such a feature.

I'm almost sure I've seen this filed already.

Comment 2

[James Paige]

smells like a duplicate of 78104

Comment 3

[Jeremy M. Dolan]

78104 is wildcard or regexp matching and is futured. preferably this bug could
be done as a 1.0 temporary fix, since 78104 is futured.

[Stuart Parmenter]

-> morse

Comment 5

[Ari]

This bug is a duplicate of bug 78104.

Comment 6

[Ari]

I think this is a duplicate of bug 78104 because implementing any sort of temp
fix would probably go most of the way to implementing it. I know there already
is regular expression processing code somewhere else in mozila (perhaps in the
JavaScript interpreter), so it should be a matter of using that on URLs.

[Jeremy M. Dolan]

Guess it wont make 1.0, then.

Comment 8

[Tim]

The patch(es) for bug 78104 already handles globbing since it is significantly
similar to regular expression filtering.

Attachment: wildcard check

Tim, Are you still working on this? What you did for pattern recognition is
pretty cool. But you said you were ripping the wildcard part of that patch. 
So I created an patch that allows to put *.mozilla.org<tab>1F in you
cookperm.txt, so you wont get any images from any mozilla.org domain. Note: It
does not work for ads.*.com or something like that. But is does work for
cookies.

Mass reassigning of Image manager bugs to [e-mail], and futuring.
Most of these bugs are enhancement requests or are otherwise low priority at
this time.

Bug 176950 changed the way we check hosts. From now on, domain.com in your
cookperm.txt will alse block things from host.domain.com. See that bug for more
information. So this is fixed.
