Use PithHelmet to allow simple URL typing
I can't make this work. Where do I type the first expression - is the 'url field' the one in the column on the left? But then do I need to put anything in the 'Matching Pattern' field. (I've tried both, together and separately). Do I want a 'Wildcard Match' or one of the other options (none seem to work). Do I need to enable 'Site Preferences'? These may seem like a lot of stupid questions, but if you've never used the Rule Editor it's far from intuitive. I want this to work because some time ago Safari stopped expanding simple URLs for me altogether and I've never been able to figure out why. My failed lookups just stay failed.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. Here's more detailed instructions:

Nope - still doesn't work. I suspect this may be related to the fact that simple URLs are broken for me anyway. I can't remember when this happened, nor can I find a preference setting or anything which might account for it.
If I just type , eg, 'gizmondo', I get the message: The requested URL could not be retrievedSo perhaps the answer lies with the propellorheads who manage the internal system... The http:// gets added, but not the .com

I think if you are getting that error, then somehow PithHelmet is not doing its thing for you. The great thing about PithHelmet is that the request for http:/gizmondo/ never goes out to the internet, so you could not be getting an error referencing that URL. I don't know why it's not working for you, but the problem is your PithHelmet installation, *not* the internet or DNS or your ISP. |
