http://mail.google.com is blocked, but https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?shva=1#inbox is not. When I do a lookup in TRITON, it says it should be blocked by category:
| Result: | This category is blocked. |
| URL: | https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?shva=1#inbox |
| Client: | LDAP:// [Domain-specific content removed] Brian Proie |
| Category: | General Email |
| Details: | Found in Master Database category. |
CATEGORY BLOCKED | |
However, when I go to that URL, it redirects to https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?service=mail&passive=true&rm=false&continue=https://mail.google.com/mail/%26ss%3D1%26scc%3D1%26ltmpl%3Ddefault%26ltmplcache%3D2%26emr%3D1/&ss=1&scc=1<mpl=default<mplcache=2&emr=1
and when I enter account information it allows me in.
Another way to get around this filter would be to go to www.google.com then click on gmail at the top.
I tried to add mail.google.com (without http or https specified) to an "exception: block" list, but that didn't fix it. Any suggestions?
This question is similar in nature but not the same as this one (in the post referenced below, the category of the site not being blocked was allowed - in my case the category is blocked, as stated above):
