Summary: Filters no longer working on some sites

Initial Comment:
I have 3.0.3 installed on Gentoo linux. It's been
working great for months.

I have used prixovy to make a filter for a forum I read
a lot and it works great. I've now tried adding more
filters for other sites and none of them are working.

Even giving it the most basic s/and/privoxy/g won't work.

I tried adding the line s/and/privoxy/g under the set
of filters for the forum that have been working so they
apply to the forum. Sure enough all instances of "and"
are replaced with "privoxy" like you would expect. Now
if I add more domains to the group of domains that the
forum rules get applied to they do NOT have instances
of "and" replaced.

This makes no sense to me at all, I can't figure out
what is happening.

I have tried a completely blank default.filter file
with only two lines: 

FILTER: forums
s/and/privoxy/g

and it still doesn't take!

What could this be? I've restarted privoxy, flushed my
browser cache....I don't know what to do.

Thanks for any help,

Patrick

Your description isn't entirely clear to me
and you didn't provide a link to the site you're
talking about.

My guess is that Privoxy doesn't understand the
site's content type as text, most likely because
it's something like "application/xhtml+xml".

Upon other things,
http://www.fabiankeil.de/sourcecode/privoxy/patch-current.patch
lets Privoxy enable filtering if the Content-Type
contains the string xml. Additionally it lets you
enable filtering by force (which can lead to damaged content).

The patch applies cleanly against the current
Privoxy version, for 3.0.3 you have to merge
two chunks by hand.
