Hi
I just want to block orkut profile in webproxy, but unable to do so.
http://www.orkut.com/Main#profile?uid=6767284876016221058
i block above as follows:-
1 *orkut.co.in /Main#profile?uid=6767284876016221058 deny
but not working,any suggestion..
I couldn’t make this work either. the problem appears to be the ‘#’ character. unless i’m missing something, it looks like a bug
does it work if you use wildcard for the path?
1 *orkut.co.in *uid=6767284876016221058 deny
No it doesn’t. anything after ‘#’, is being ignored
seems like this is not a bug, but bad decision on part of orkut/twitter: http://dannythorpe.com/2011/02/09/side-effects-of-hash-bang-urls/
Alright, fair enough. Hash-Bang URLs are quite special. but that doesn’t make up for the fact that routeros webproxy ignores everything after the hash all together. we are not talking about caching those pages and the challenges to do so, we’re talking about a simple access rule not working because of that. some very popular sites are using that method and it appears to be becoming more and more like a common practice.
Like you see in the article, it’s exactly the point of these URLs. Even web browsers consider everything after the hash, to be the same page, and ignores it.
Ok. i did a bit testing with Web debugger tools. this does seem to be very special. ill do more study on this matter when i got time. thanks for pointing it out 
Alright, i did a bit of research on how Orkut communicates with its server. to block that profile, you need to block a POST request being sent to http://www.orkut.com/gwt/Multiplexer , with specific data in it. i don’t think web proxy could do that. your best chance is probably L7 (or maybe ‘Content’ in firewall rule?). see the attachment for the detail.
So anybody suggest me how can do that layer 7 protocol if it is not possible in web proxy ?
Thx
