Web Protection blocking googleapi

Question

I am using a site called codeskulptor ( http://www.codeskulptor.org ) and am having a problem with the save function. Codeskulptor uses Google API, and I tried adding every referenced site into the Allowed website list, but nothing seems to help. Attempting to save should generate a URL for my saved project, but it doesn't. Turning off both switches in Web Protect resolves this issue. I believe the Web Protect feature is important, and would like to keep it turned on if possible. Is there something I can do to resolve this issue?

That's exactly how it's supposed to work. It's very odd. I added the website, but that doesn't seem to affect anything. If I start with the default address, then I have to turn off both Web Protection options to get the new URL. However, once I have the new URL I can turn web protection options back on and use the generated URL fopr future work. Thanks for looking at this. I'll forward this workaround to the rest of our group who are experiencing this issue. :1020980
