Wild cut problem

Postby AM Lover » Wed Sep 21, 2005 2:14 am

Default filter match - No filtering on URL: admuncher.*.txt [http://www.admuncher.com/community.shtml]
Default filter match - No filtering on URL: admuncher.*.txt [http://www.admuncher.com/]

These are 2 logs I have when accessing this site. Those two result are not correct, aren't they? The filter string "admuncher.*.txt", which doesn't match "www.admuncher.com" since there is no ".txt" at the end. How does it work?

Because of txt links on the pages.

Namely:
http://www.admuncher.com/changelog.txt

I see, but why did it get triggered on URL "http://www.admuncher.com"?
URL itself doesn't really match "admuncher.*.txt" filter, there is a "LINK" in the page instead "http://www.admuncher.com/changelog.txt". So the filter applies the content as well???

Indeed it does.

It applies to anything else that may be removed with one of the other categories.

Also I think this rules "*.txt" should be applied for all websites. For example, if you go http://proximodo.sourceforge.net/TODO.txt it gives all the javascripts generated by AM.
