5 Privoxy 3.0.12 can't handle HTML 5 tags correctly - ID: 2816708
Last Update: Comment added ( sf-robot )

Privoxy 3.0.12 can't handle HTML 5 tags correctly. If a website, which
contains HTML 5 <video> or <audio> tags, is loaded with Firefox 3.5 and
Privoxy 3.0.12, the website is loaded completely, but Firefox doesn't stop
loading the website. It seems, that every video and/or audio file, which is
embedded with these HTML 5 tags, is loaded. The video and/or audio files
can't be played at least until every file is loaded completely (I haven't
waited long enough).

Without Privoxy, these audio and/or video files aren't downloaded
automatically. They are only downloaded, when they are played (when the
play button is pressed).

You can see this on the website of RadioTux, the German Linux Radio:

To reproduce it, disable Flash and open this website with Firefox 3.5.

Thanks for the confirmation.
Committed to default.action.master for both ogg and ogv.

If this is going to be shipped by default, I guess you want at least

{-filter -deanimate-gifs}
/.*\.ogg
/.*\.ogv

Maybe other file suffixes as well?

This seems to work for me, too.
Maybe this should be added to default.action.

Yes, that works. Thank you very much!

I forgot about deanimate-gifs. Please try:

{-filter -deanimate-gifs}
/.*\.ogg

It shows "-filter", along with a bunch of other things:

Do the "Final results" on:
http://config.privoxy.org/show-url-info?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.org%2Ftest.ogg
confirm that filtering is disabled?

I tried adding

{-filter}
/.*\.ogg

to user.action. Unfortunately, that did not help.

Thanks for the log.

I think you should be able to solve the problem by adding:
{-filter}
/.*\.ogg
to one of your action files.

It's unfortunate that Firefox doesn't use the Accept header to signal that
it isn't requesting text content here, like it does for images.

Hmm... I can't seem to figure out how to attach a file in this bug tracker.
I put the log file at http://nullinfinity.org/tmp/logfile

Yes, setting "toggle 0" makes the videos work. I'll attach a log file
showing a case that doesn't work (with toggle set to 1).

Does the problem go away if you change "toggle 1" to "toggle 0"?
Could you reproduce the problem with header debugging (debug 8) enabled
and show us the log?
Does the problem go away if you use Polipo or Squid instead of Privoxy?

And I just checked - it also happens with flash removed.

I also see this bug (Privoxy 3.0.13 on Ubuntu).

I can reproduce the problem with both versions (Privoxy 3.0.13 beta and
Privoxy 3.0.14 built from CVS) on Arch Linux.

Firefox still tries to automatically download and play every audio file at
the same time.

Thanks for the report.

Can your reproduce the problem with Privoxy 3.0.13 beta or Privoxy 3.0.14
built from CVS?

I can't reproduce the problem with Privoxy built from CVS and Firefox 3.5
on FreeBSD.

I don't have flash installed, so you could also try (temporarily)
deinstalling flash to see if it makes a difference.
