Red X's again my solution. Ryan to the front desk please

None of the solutions mentioned worked for me since I dont have Norton Security.

However I do have Zone Alarm Pro and I had to allow Private Headers to get rid of the X's. WTF is a Private Header and why is HAMB the only site I visit on the Internet that gives me problems and that uses Private Headers??

Unlike others who got the problem during Norton upgrades I havent upgraded ZA since long before the X's so Im certain it is something to do with HAMB changes.

 

I gotta chime in on this one...I had the same problem with the red x's everywhere on the Hamb. Then my wifey says: 'Get off AOL and use Internet Explorer'. Guess what? No red x's...really...AOL sux...

 

These red X's must be like ghosts or aliens, everybody else sees them, they don't like them but they still see them. I feel left out, I still want to see them ... even though I know I don't.

And I'm not sure about AOL and the X's but I know one thing, and that is that I WON'T use AOL. I'm about:mozilla

 

Here They are for everyone who cant see the others

 

i did a system restore about a week ago,couple of days later they disappered.

 

No red X's here, also no AOL, BUUTTTTTTTT; Ever since registering on HAMB; I caint' access my E-mail on Yahoo! And you guys thought you got it bad!--LEE

 

I'll add this twist to the mystery...I use AOL/WinXp and last week the dreaded RedX's hit me ...I went to Internet Options & deleted/emptied all internet temporary caches,files,cookies,history,etc ...and the RedX's disappeared...These damn computers can be a PITA to a dinosaur like me!!!!

 

Be careful what you ask for....

 

HECK YEAH! Look what it did to my avatar! No idea on whats going on but I'm on AOL and have never saw them.

 

Sorry, I meant to say the HAMB server/Host or whatever is between you and me. My main PC is running XP Pro, this one in the shop is on 98SE. Both have ZA Pro, both had Red X until I did the Private Header thing.
ZAP has a box to allow or block them but no explanation WTF they are for.

Meanwhile I'll trust Norton AV, Spybot & Spyware Blaster to keep them nasty little electrons out of my PC. Also MS Antispyware on the XP box.

 

hey 286merc. i have the same problems with zone, plus i use mozilla as a browser which makes it even worse. you should see what my page looks like. im not a computer guy but i just typed: what are private headers? in google search and you will find a ton of info there. a lot of it was over my head. i went to the zone labs website and in the search i typed in private headers and again there is lots of info there. you just need to sift through it, but there were quite a few people there that were having these same problems and it was explained to them in pretty simple terms. im going to wait for this site to get updated and if i still have problems i will adjust my zone accordingly

Thanx.

This is the best explanation I found for the non IT professional. I actually understood some of it!

Private headers
A Web server plug-in can use private headers to forward requests for dynamic content, such as servlets, to the application server.

After you configure a Web server plug-in, in addition to regular plug-in functions, you can use private headers as a mechanism for forwarding proxy information from the plug-in to an application server. This information is not normally included in HTTP requests.

Private headers are implemented as a set of HTTP request header name/value pairs that the plug-in adds to the HTTP request header before the request is forwarded to an application server. The application server's Web container removes this information from the header and then processes this information.

Private headers can include such information as the remote (client) user, the remote (client) host name, or an SSL client certificate. They conform to a naming standard so that there is no namespace collision with the architected HTTP header fields.

For example, authentication information, such as a client certificate, is normally requested by the Web server once during the establishment of an HTTP session. It is not required again for individual requests within that session. However, a client certificate must accompany each request forwarded to the application server. The application server can then use the certificate as needed.

Similarly, the Web server examines TCP/IP socket connections for information about the host address of the client. The application server cannot perform this examination because its socket connection is with the plug-in and not with the actual client. Therefore, one of the private headers is the host address of the actual client.

 

You guys just gave this old man a major headache with your explanations...anyone here speak English?...

 

I'm getting them for the first time on the Jockey Journal right now. I haven't done anything different than before. No AOL here either.
