Rabbit will not filter pages that are already compressed. This is 
probably your problem, but since you do not give any example site it is
hard to say.

No, there is no easy way to turn off noproxy, you will have to change
rabbits code, HttpBaseFilter, line 361 is where that is handled.

it could also be a bug in the html parser, but you have to give an
example site if you want me to look at it.
But first check if you get compressed content.

Adding unpacking+filtering+repacking to FilterHandler is easy, but
it is not part of rabbit, at least not yet.
I wrote a mail a day ago explaining to another person how to implement
it.

I guess I have to figure out what direction I want rabbit to go,
full filtering proxy or web accellerator proxy. For the first then I
really ought to add that unpack+filtering to FilterHandler.
If I take number 2 instead I am not sure that I want such features
since they would go directly against rabbits goal (introducing extra
latency is not making surfing faster).
