adsign.apps.asu.edu

Our api is being blocked by the following EasyList rule:

Code: Select all

/adsign.$domain=~adsign.com.au|~adsign.no|~adsign.slack.com

Could you please add an exception for adsign.apps.asu.edu?

Here is an example request that is being blocked:

Code: Select all

https://adsign.apps.asu.edu/templates

I tried modifying the rule like this but it did not work:

Code: Select all

/adsign.$domain=~adsign.com.au|~adsign.no|~adsign.slack.com|~adsign.apps.asu.edu

The only thing that worked so far is adding:

Code: Select all

@@adsign.apps.asu.edu

Ad Blocker Extension Name / Version: Adblock Plus / 3.14.1
List Subscriptions you're using and Custom Filters (some of known trusted subscriptions): EasyList
Browser Name / Version: Chrome / 104.0.5112.101
Operating System Name / Version: MacOS

The reason why adding to the list of acceptable domains is not working, like so:

Code: Select all

/adsign.$domain=~adsign.com.au|~adsign.no|~adsign.slack.com|~adsign.apps.asu.edu

Is because the blocked resource is not being requested from the domain adsign.apps.asu.edu, it is being requested from

Code: Select all

https://adsign-admin.apps.asu.edu

Therefore, the preferred method of unblocking our resource would be to add the exception

Code: Select all

 @@adsign.apps.asu.edu

so that it won't be blocked if called from any of our sites.

Good morning @fanboy , I really appreciate you taking the time to look at my post and make the commit.

The change you made seems to work despite my earlier efforts to create a similar filter. I am curious if you know why the filter that you created works within the context of EasyList, but when I try to add the same filter to my custom filters, the resource is still blocked. I understand if this is not the place for this discussion.

If I turn EasyList off and add your filter to my custom filters, the resource is still blocked.

I am curious if you know why the filter that you created works within the context of EasyList, but when I try to add the same filter to my custom filters, the resource is still blocked.

That's likely because the original filter still stands and yours is getting ignored since ABP thinks it is a duplicate. ABP doesn't support disabling the original filter and replacing it with a new one. You'd need uBlock Origin (uBO) for that.

As a side note having more then one adblocker in your browser can cause all kinds of problems.

Good afternoon,

I appreciate the timely change, but it is not working. Could you please add the following line to the list instead:

Code: Select all

@@adsign.apps.asu.edu

I believe the line that was originally changed would only work if the domain that was accessing the resource was adsign.apps.asu.edu, but it is not, we are accessing it from

Code: Select all

https://adsign-admin.apps.asu.edu

Thank you,
Brandon

@fanboy @LanikSJ I have made the change that we need here: https://github.com/easylist/easylist/pull/13218

If we could adjust this, that would be a great help to us. Thank you in advance.
