Hello,
i know purebasic and just had to look at how SpiderBasic goes now.
One thing i noticed from the examples is that my adblocker is blocking SpiderBasic. And the reason is most probably because some JavaScript file is named "Popup*"
Would it be possible to name the javascript files so adblockers don't automatically block these?
Just a suggestion.

Re: advertising blockers and SpiderBasic
which adblocker do you use, so we can test ?
Re: advertising blockers and SpiderBasic
I am using https://easylist.adblockplus.org/ for Privoxy converted.
So i guess it will be the same issue if adblockplus is used.
It mostly checks the names of files. for example it blocks files with "banner" in its name or like in the example "popup.js"
This is from the chrome debugger:

I tested with adblock plus and uBlock without issue, that's wierd.
Re: advertising blockers and SpiderBasic
ah. sorry. i see now that it is a default blocking rule of privoxy. Not one of my imported rules.
Sorry about that.
Anyway not being able to be sure which adblockers block what, it would still be the best to try to avoid filenames that might match something that will probably be blocked.
Like "popup", "popunder", "popover", "popopen*" or "banner" or "adv" or "flash*".
just for being on the most possible safe side that nothing important gets blocked.

Re: advertising blockers and SpiderBasic
I agree, but it's part of the DOJO toolkit and we can't rename filename easily. Proxy and blockers should really do better check than filename based one, as if I want to write something bad, I will avoid such filenames..
