Description

Hi,

Wikipedia uses a Java Script to prevent it being put in a frame set. The
interwiki link checker, however, is a very useful tool, which creates an
interwiki diff using frames. There should be an Referer:-based exception for
urls starting with "http://www.flacus.de/wikipedia/Interwiki-Link-Checker/wiki.php"

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal
OS: Linux
Platform: PC

The hack on the site has left our frame-breaker completely inoperable for over a
month, as you cannot read the document.location value from another site's window

  • it causes an exception and the whole thing fails.

The hack has been removed.
