[Privoxy-users] Prevent Privoxy from Filtering Localhost

[Vanderdenduur]

Hello,
I created a rule to redirect common JS requests to the local versions 
installed in a folder called CommonJS.
Here’s the ruleset:

|# { 
+redirect{s@^(https?://)?(?!localhost)[^,%]*(?!/CommonJS/)\b(angular|backbone|dojo|ember|ext-core|jquery.ui(.min)?|jquery.min|modernizr.min|mootools-yui-compressed|prototype|scriptaculous|swfobject|underscore-min)\b[^/]*\.js[^,%]*@http://localhost/~Nathalie/CommonJS/$2.js@} 
} # github.com/Synzvato/decentraleyes/tree/master/data/resources 
/[^,%]*(?!/CommonJS/)\b(angular|backbone|dojo|ember|ext-core|jquery.ui(.min)?|jquery.min|modernizr.min|mootools-yui-compressed|prototype|scriptaculous|swfobject|underscore-min)\b[^/]*\.js[^,%]* 
|

I tried to make it simpler…
Unfortunately, at some point, Privoxy attempts to re-analyse the local 
version too, which I don’t want.
Here’s the log version:

|2016-12-31 11:08:45.163 00000128 Redirect: pcrs command 
"s@^(https?://)?(?!localhost)[^,%]*(?!/CommonJS/)\b(angular|backbone|dojo|ember|ext-core|jquery.ui(.min)?|jquery.min|modernizr.min|mootools-yui-compressed|prototype|scriptaculous|swfobject|underscore-min)\b[^/]*\.js[^,%]*@http://localhost/~Nathalie/CommonJS/$2.js@"

Redirection loop prevented. 2016-12-31 11:08:45.237 000000b0 Request:

In particular, I see (from above)

|2016-12-31 11:08:45.237 000000b0 Error: New URL 
"http://localhost/~Nathalie/CommonJS/jquery-ui.min.js" and old URL 
"http://localhost/~Nathalie/CommonJS/jquery-ui.min.js" are the same. 
Redirection loop prevented. |

Is there a way to not allow Privoxy analyse data hosted on localhost? I 
have put |localhost| in { -filter } and have inserted the 
|(?!localhost)| in the ruleset to prevent Privoxy from analysing 
localhost request, but with no effect.
Afterwards, when this “error” occurs, Privoxy goes crazy cruising at 
full CPU.
Thanks for your support,
Vanderdenduur
