None that I know of.....Don't even know if anyone has been working the issue......Doesn't seem like much of a bug reporting mechanism.

Has any progress been made on this issue? As I have been running the
Jaunty version.

Status in “dansguardian” package in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
Binary package hint: dansguardian

Using Ubuntu 9.10
Dansguardian 2.10.1.1-1

Using DansGuardian causes a large set of web sites to fail to show. This failure takes two forms: a blank "page" is returned, or an error page is returned. I'm treating these as one problem because they've occurred at the same time.

This follows a clean install of Karmic, up-to-date. Very few application additions or tweaks.

Sites that return a "blank page":

    * http://ubuntuforums.org/
    * http://distrowatch.com/
    * http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/
    * http://www.adobe.com/
    * http://www.openbravo.com/

"View source" for these also comes in as blank, empty.

Sites that return an error message:
Quote:
Content Encoding Error:
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because
it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.

    * http://www.amazon.com/
    * http://www.icyphoenix.com/
    * http://www.facebook.com/ (FB sometimes does show)
    * http://www.yelp.com/austin
    * http://www.linkedin.com/
    * http://www.sun/com/java

"View source" sometimes shows the same presentation,
but in case of facebook shows the source as if no problem
(although this has some variance -- once it came up blank).

If Dansguardian is by-passed the problem goes away.

If the particular site is included in the "excluded sites list" the problem does not happen with that site

Here is a link to a fuller discussion on another formum

The "solution" in that case was to go back to the Jaunty Dansguardian package.....2.9.9.7-2
