Is it possible to prevent this web redirect?
This isn't specifically linux but there are lots of knowledgeable people here, so ..... I'm trying to go to the following web page:- http://auberge.delecluse.free.fr When I load the above in Firefox (or IE for that matter) it pops up the web page momentarily but then, within a second or so, redirects me to http://www.cibleclick.com/. I've seen this sort of thing before but I'm more interested in seeing the 'right' web page this time. If you use lynx or w3m to go to http://auberge.delecluse.free.fr then you don't get redirected, but of course there's not much in the way of pictures to look at. Is there any way I can get Firefox (or something else) to show the wanted web pages? -- Chris Green

Works fine for me. Of course, I use NoScript, meaning that script never runs. You could try installing NoScript and see if you can view the page in that case. Another way might be to add a bogus entry for www.cibleclick.com in your hosts file that maps to a local address with no webserver running on it, or alternatively add a firewall rule to reject connections to that host.

Or of course you could just go into the firefox settings and temporarily turn off javascript

Or in Chromium, turn JavaScript off for just that site, (just checked iceweasel, there doesn't seem to be a similar core option). To do it in Chromium, hit the spanner, hit preferences, in there go to "Under the Hood", then Content Settings (a button in Privacy) go to the JavaScript section and hit "Manage Exceptions", add auberge.delecluse.free.fr with a Block rule, and Bob's your uncle. -- Brett Parker

Yes, it seem you can only disable javascript globally in firefox. Then the http://auberge.delecluse.free.fr site comes up beautifully. Turn javascript back on, and re-load, and you get to that awful http://www.cibleclick.com site, with absolutely no visible link back to the auberge.delecluse.free.fr site. Does this suggest that the Auberge de l'Écluse website has been hijacked?

This sort of redirection seems quite common on French web sites in my experience. -- Chris Green

It looks a lot like it, but it's hard to know why without seeing the server-side source code. cibleclick do seem awful: searching for them finds reports of them storing passwords as clear-text in cookies, of losing their domain to squatters because they didn't renew in time and so on. I've not found exactly what's going on on the auberge site, though. Maybe cibleclick redirect discontinued affiliate sites to their own homepage?

I did a 'wget -l 1' on http://auberge.delecluse.free.fr and got a single file "index.html". This looks innocuous until you get near the bottom, where you find: <!--- Code <E0> ins<E9>rer CibleClick : multi-programme2 ---> <script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.cibleclick.com/cibles/banniere/script_aff2.cfm/ script.js?friend_id=27317700"> </script> <!--- fin du Code <E0> ins<E9>rer CibleClick : multi-programme2 ---> which is the only plave cibleclick is mentioned. There is another chunk of javascript nearer the beginning: <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- function namosw_exchange_src(name, rpath, nsdoc) { str = (navigator.appName == 'Netscape') ? nsdoc+'.'+name : 'document.all.'+name; img = eval(str); if (img) { if (img.altsrc == null) { img.altsrc = img.src; img.src = rpath; } else { var temp = img.src; img.src = img.altsrc; img.altsrc = temp; } } } //--> </script> which doesn't do anything that I can make out!

Yes, of course, works perfectly. Thank you! -- Chris Green
