-<H2>SAMPLE CONFIGURATION</H2>
-
-<P>
-
-A brief example of what a simple <I>default.action</I>
-configuration might look like:
-<P>
-<PRE>
- # Define a few useful custom aliases for later use
- {{alias}}
-
- # Useful aliases that combine more than one action
- +crunch-cookies = +crunch-incoming-cookies +crunch-outgoing-cookies
- -crunch-cookies = -crunch-incoming-cookies -crunch-outgoing-cookies
- +block-as-image = +block +handle-as-image
-
- # Fragile sites should have the minimum changes
- fragile = -block -deanimate-gifs -fast-redirects -filter \
- -hide-referer -prevent-cookies
-
- ## Turn some actions on ################################
- ## NOTE: Actions are off by default, unless explictily turned on
- ## otherwise with the '+' operator.
-
-{ \
-+change-x-forwarded-for{block} \
-+deanimate-gifs{last} \
-+filter{refresh-tags} \
-+filter{img-reorder} \
-+filter{banners-by-size} \
-+filter{webbugs} \
-+filter{jumping-windows} \

- .hitbox.com
- media./.*(ads|banner)

- advice.

-
-<P>
-
-Then for a <I>user.action</I>, we would put local,
-narrowly defined exceptions:
-<P>

- # Re-define aliases as needed here
- {{alias}}
-
- # Useful aliases
- -crunch-cookies = -crunch-incoming-cookies -crunch-outgoing-cookies

-
- # Sites where we want persistent cookies, so allow *all* cookies
- { -crunch-cookies -session-cookies-only }
- .redhat.com
- .sun.com
- .msdn.microsoft.com
-
- # These sites break easily. Use our "fragile" alias here.
- { fragile }
- .forbes.com
- mybank.example.com
-
- # Replace example.com's style sheet with one of my choosing
- { +redirect{<A HREF="http://localhost/css-replacements/example.com.css}">http://localhost/css-replacements/example.com.css}</A> }
- .example.com/stylesheet.css
