Re: Problem logging out of yahoo mail over Tor



I had a problem with this too sometime last year when we tested JanusVM.
I tried to edit privoxy rules, but nothing seemed to fix it.
There was something in the URL that was messing it up, but I never figured out what.
However, there is a part of the URL that works by itself.

Example:

The logout URL is:
http://us.ard.yahoo.com/SIG=12juheg3g/M=289534.10756690.11362500.5333790/D=mail/S=150500014:HEADR/Y=YAHOO/EXP=1181710959/A=4595965/R=10/SIG=140k91pnt/*http://login.yahoo.com/config/login?logout=1&.src=""

I don't know why they put all the extra crap in the beginning of the URL, but the part you want is:
http://login.yahoo.com/config/login?logout=1

If this is something you are going to be using often, then make a bookmark for "Yahoo Logout" with the above URL.

Hi,

When I logout of my yahoo mail account using Tor it jumps back to the
same page. I'm using firefox with Tor 0.1.2.14 (package, not compiling)
on Vista.
When I toggle torbutton I can logout OK.
Any ideas?

Thanks
Steve
