CxForward v1.0.6

[GreatToHearFromYou]

Yes, sorry I forgot to mention that it works really good without that server, leaving it blank. Just our report drop-down list is acting funny and I can't visit the NxFilter Forum without the browser adding it back in again - I just checked and it put the address back in again.

I actually had the same problem but we don't have any special code for our forum. And at the moment, I can't recreate it. I even tried to uninstall and reinstall several times but I don't see it anymore. Anyway, it's related to our forum. We will look into this problem in detail tomorrow.

And what's that drop-down list problem? You get that when you have CxForward running?

[support200]

Seems like it happens when you write something in this forum. Maybe in other forum too. But it doesn't happen with Chrome with my test. It happens with Edge. I will see if we can fix it tomorrow.

[support200]

But not always. This time I don't have it.

The drop down shows the previous selection, instead of the current. If was on machine 25-201 and select 25-202, the drop down box stays at 25-201 with the data of 25-202. If I then go to 25-203, the box goes to 25-202, with the data of 25-203. Here is part of the drop down code:

<select name="wc" class="tr_sel" id="wc_id" onChange="setwc(this)">
<option value='25-200' selected>25-200 - PRESS DEPARTMENT</option>
<option value=25-201>25-201 - KIDDER FLEX STACK PRESS</option>
<option value=25-202>25-202 - KIDDER FLEX STACK PRESS</option>
<option value=25-203>25-203 - KIDDER FLEXO 660 CI</option>

function setwc(h) {
var subind = $("subind").value;
if (GetIt('setwc?subind=' + subind + '&wc=' + h.value) != "OK")
alert("Error changing WC");

function GetIt(url) {
xr(url);
if (xmlhttp) {
if (xmlhttp.responseXML != null) {
return xmlhttp.responseXML.getElementsByTagName("retvalue ")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
}
}
redirectToIndexJSP();
return null;

Whatever it is CxForward shouldn't be able to change it. It doesn't have such function. It only inspects HTTPS URL not the page content. And that weird address problem doesn't happen with Chrome so far.

[GreatToHearFromYou]

All I know is that as soon as I disable CxForward the drop-down issue is gone. However, no huge deal, we just have to wait for the Edge Extension Pause function to appear in the release version and then I can Pause CxForward on our reports pages via GPO: Microsoft Edge is getting an option to pause extensions on sites - gHacks Tech News

I think I know the source of that weird URL problem. Chrome extension introduced Manifest v3 and they changed several things with the way of background service running. In old days, we only parse start page once but now it seems like starting again when it needs. And this page has 'cxforward' keyword. We need to change the keyword first and then bypass parsing process if it's not from a real start page.

So, you don't visit this post for sometime. Or change the IP again until we release v1.0.7.

[support200]

We have updated it to v1.0.7 but there's another bug found about this auto-server-discovery and we have to update it again. However, they don't approve it right away. So, it might not be working for several days. Sorry for that.

[support200]

Finally, it's updated on Microsoft Store. Its auto-discovery function works and Login, Logout, Admin domains will be working as well. And the login redirection should be working.

I have two nxfilters on the same network and cxforward is discovering the first one it finds. Could you make some rules at the firewall level so that a network does not find an nxfilter? Is there a specific port? Thanks

[support200]

What do you mean by 'a network does not find an nxfilter'? You can set CxForward server IP manually or using its start page. Auto-discovery function respects them.

[guinux]

Sorry for my english, I use translator.

I have two Nxfilters on the network, I want cxforward to find only one of them.

[support200]

Why do you need 2 NxFilter in one network? You can put them into one cluster. If they are not in the same cluster your CxForward will forward users of another server to the wrong server.

[guinux]

I understand, but I would like to keep both.

Could you just block one of them in the firewall?

[support200]

You really understand? It will not be working anyway. The users of your second server wouldn't be forwarded because their CxForward will query against the 1st server. How do they find they are blocked? Use start page or manual setup.
