Simple custom user filter not woking... :-(

[Zack]

Hi,

I'm trying to make a custom filter to redirect url or change part of the response but I can't make it to work!

Source: https://104.131.201.115/services/json/?method=test

I tried replacing the word "fail" with the word "error" in the response using the following filter:
Filter: ||104.131.201.115^$replace=/fail/error/img
But it did'nt work...

So I tried redirecting the url with the filter:
Filter: 104.131.201.115#%#AG_onLoad(function() { setTimeout(function() {window.location = "https://104.131.201.116";}, 300); });

But it did'nt work either... :-(

I red many posts about this but it feels like I don't get how to make filters at all... lol

Can anyone help me?

But why IP address, as I understand this rule belongs to pandora.com, right?

Yes, I red on the internet it could help with the country blocked problem.

The thing is that AG won't filter HTTPS for the request when you use an IP address as it considers certificate invalid (certificate name does not match the domain name).

Would it work if I use pandora.com instead? What would the filter look like?

Redirect won't work as this is not an HTML page and javascript won't help with it. There's not much we can do unless $redirect modifier is implemented.

What for $replace, here it is:

||pandora.com/services/json?method=test$replace=/fail/error/

Not working... :-( I still see "fail" when browsing "https://tuner.pandora.com/services/json/?method=test"
...

There is a typo in above rule (missing / before ?):

||pandora.com/services/json/?method=test$replace=/fail/error/

 

[Zack]

Not working either... I did some tests with some URLs and I believe I should be using this filter:

||tuner.pandora.com/services/json/?method=test.checkLicencing$replace=/fail/error/

But sadly it's not working. Maybe I didn't set the application properly...

Shows "error" fine for both json files you initially posted. Probably a cache issue.

@Zack do you have HTTPS filtering enabled in AG settings? What browser do you use for testing it?

 

[Zack]

Thank you for your patience and quick answers

I tried on a different browser (chrome) on my android phone and was still not working... The first browser I tried was the default internet app in Android Nougat.

I did not have the HTTPS filtering enabled; I just turned it on (installing the certificate) then I restarted the phone and guess what... It works!

Thank guys!

Yeah, it's mandatory for applying cosmetic rules on a https website
