Web Protection blocking website

Laststarfighter

Hi 

i have the Sophos 9.x installed on my mac, with block access to malicious sites set to 'on' under Web Protection.

What I've noticed is that the website www.whitepages.com.au seems to be blocked from loading.

This has been happening for months and I always thought it was an issue with my mac. Other macs in the household don't have Sophos installed and can access the site fine.

If I add the site to the allowed websites it stll won't load.

If I set block access to malicious sites set to 'off' it will load as per normal.

www.whitepages.com.au is a legitimate website, I'm not sure why it is getting blocked. Or why when I add it as an allowed site it still won't load?

Cheers

LS

    www.whitepages.com.au makes a lookup to:
       http://medrx.sensis.com.au/online.php

    That url returns a 'HTTP 204 (No Content) response', and includes both a 'Content-Length; 21' field, and the body 'extraAdCallInfo = '';'

    According to the spec, 204 responses MUST NOT contain a body.  Other browsers know this; unfortunately it appears Safari does not.  For example curl reports:

      * Excess found in a non pipelined read: excess = 21 url = /online.php (zero-length body)
      * Closing connection #0

    We will be including a fix in a future update which re-writes the request so that Safari will no longer expect a body for 204 responses.
