Blacklist

This filter simply blocks access to certain pages.

Parameters

action

The action parameter specifies the access blocking method.

Format:

action = disconnect
action = redirect:URL

• disconnect – Silently drop connection, so the user does not even know that access was blocked.
  
• redirect:URL – Redirect to URL.
  If URL is not specified, Foxy will select an approriate internal URL automatically. Currently it will be null.html, null.gif, or null.swf. Those names are handled internally (there's no such files under httproot directory).

The problem is that when redirect happens, Foxy doesn't know content type of the requested resource. It will try it's best to guess it by path extention and using some heuristics, but it still may get it wrong. As a result, for example, your browser may show a broken image icon. This may mean that Foxy couldn't guess content type by the blocked resource's URL and served null.html instead.
