hpHosts list updates blocked

[luxoflux]

Looks like the EasyList rule .net/ad_ is blocking filter updates from http://hosts-file**.net/ad_**servers.txt when behind-the-scenes is noop, obviously. Will require an unbreak rule?

(Also, hpHosts’s should just be hpHosts, or, if you want to denote ownership, just hpHosts’.)

Behind the scene network requests:

Important: Filter behind-the-scene requests at your own risk. I will close without further comment any reported issue which is a direct consequence of blocking behind-the-scene network requests.

Right, my bad.

Then you can address that tiny grammar issue, so this wouldn't be a totally wasted report. Heh.

I used noop in My rules (overrides static filters)

noop overrides dynamic filtering rules, not static filtering.

Using a dynamic URL filtering rule might be the answer:

behind-the-scene http://hosts-file.net/ad_servers.txt other allow

Etc. (not sure about the request type, never noticed what it was).

[luxoflux]

Yep, I know, and I've done that already (was an XHR).

Thanks.

Actually I just realized this pull request is what is causing this. There was a reason I picked the alternative name originally, and this reason was to prevent ABP filters from matching the URL of the filter list. I will revert to the previous name.
