exclude url?

hey

is there a way to exclude a url from recorder? we want to record a script but don’t want the tracking sites to be in it, how do we exclude the url so it gets ignored when recording?

thanks

Just set up filters: https://github.com/excilys/gatling/wiki/Recorder#wiki-filters

this doesn’t seem to work what im trying to do for e.g. -

i add 3 except filters;

http://www.google.co.uk/

http://www.google.co.uk/*

http://www.google.co.uk//

and it won’t exclude the url, it still gets recorded?

i know im missing something really obvious here… but i just can’t figure it out! :slight_smile:

thanks.

Woups, my bad, we currently only match paths, not full urls…

But… why don’t you simply add www.google.co.uk to the hosts that don’t use the proxy in your browser set up (on Firefox: “No proxy for”)?

On Firefox, you can even use the Profile manager so you can easily switch from one config to another:

The issue is that services such as criteo generates tracking of all sorts in an unpredictable fashion and it would require a very long list of exceptions in the proxy settings, and it would never be 100% accurate.

Ideally there would be a way to filter the FQDN, similarly to the URI, both with EXCEPT and ONLY modes.

Best,
