A quick Google and it would appear that Hostopia are messing about with peple's files, not just at PlusNet. Anyone know what this is, why its there, how I benefit and, if I want to, how to stop it ?
I presume it's to do with the web analytics mentined on the FAQ. But the FAQ does not mention that files are modified to add Javascript.
Thanks.

Quote from: starfry I just noticed a pretty-vanilla HTML file has a block of Javascript added to it...

Quote from: spraxyt As you speculated this JaveScript code is added (on the fly) at the end of HTML body sections for pages served to browsers.
I will preface this question with "I am not a techie" : / but does that mean that the absolute path and the username are both disclosed (ie visible by anyone viewing page source). I had thought (in relation to php/MySQL especially) that things like absolute paths were ideally not disclosed (?)
If there's no risk in that, perhaps someone could explain, thanks.

However when PHP error messages are suppressed to avoid exposing file paths it seems odd to give them in page source.

Quote from: Bob If people consider the file path to be a major issue then I can query it with Hostopia, however I suspect it's likely to involve a bit of work to obfuscate the information.
I wouldn't want to cause work for anyone, and I suppose hostopia must think it's not a security risk or they wouldn't present the information in that way. I'm quite glad I asked, though - technical factors are always something of a challenge - and appreciate the replies. As luck would have it, Web Analytics wasn't originally installed for our ccgi, so it's probably best I leave things as they are.

Penny.

I think code added after the closing tag can trigger a malware warning in some security packages, or at least it could a few years ago. It may be that the system has been whitelisted since.

- Control Panel \ Manage Websites \ Web Analytics \ Advanced Tab (top right) \ disable.
Now I have no tracking, but at least my web site is faster.
Quote from: Bob As people have explained, this is a product of the Analytics application. It can be prevented by disabling the pixel-code tracking/switching Analytics off. If people consider the file path to be a major issue then I can query it with Hostopia, however I suspect it's likely to involve a bit of work to obfuscate the information.
