There should be a chart of today's markets on the right side which is blocked by the tracking list filter entry "?*&*www*%$image"

OK ... today is getting to be a weird day. I verified your false-positive a couple of days ago .. yet today, that image is displaying fine and there are no items blocked in the list at all.

Same with you?

That's one heck of an image URL:

Code: Select all

http://www.google.com/chart?cht=lfi&chc=finance&chs=230x130&chd=s:WQNOTTabaXTRSTUSQPOSVWVSUVWYbbcecbaYZdjopooqrvvvsroqpoopqnmnplmmnqsrpnlmjkjfejk,KLGHONTXWSNKJLMJDABHKONJMNORUWWZYYXWYckpqomnqvuwqokjkkkmmifilhfgjprpomikhiidchh,SPMNSRZaaXTRRTUSPNNSVXWUWWXadedhfecaaelqrpoqswwyutppponopnlmolllnrsqpmkkijjechj&chco=4684ee,dc3812,ff9900&chlr=%2B0.88%25%7C%2B0.44%25%7C0.00%25%7C-0.44%25%7C-0.88%25&chp=2&sig=j8B1cTTWedgX3Qegw4yMTPuI6p0

It looks like the whole image is encoded in there - and chances for a purely coincidental occurrence of "www" (or any other
three letters) in a pseudo-random string of course increases with string length. I guess markets called for a "www" in that
URL a couple of days ago. (today, markets apparently contained "poop" )

Maybe you should match "www." instead of just "www"?

I probably would have written it that way if it was written like that all the time ... I don't think the 'dot' is always there.

If you want to ensure that chart to come up, you can just add:

Code: Select all

The chart is showing up again and thanks for the exception rule.

You're welcome. We'll have to keep an eye on that.
