Precedence in the matrix

Raymond Hill edited this page Jan 3, 2014 · 31 revisions

A defining feature of HTTP Switchboard is the precedence/graylisting/inheritance concept in the matrix.

A "graylisted" matrix cell (pale green or pale red) means the cell inherits its allow or block status from a higher precedence cell in the matrix.

This feature allows the user to whitelist or blacklist a whole group of cell with a single click on a higher precedence cell in the matrix. Here is the tree list of precedence/inheritance of the matrix:

  • The all cell (top-left corner of the matrix)
    • Types cells (cookie, css, img, etc.)
      • Specific type and specific domain names
        • Specific type and specific subdomain names
    • Domain name cells (wikipedia.org, facebook.com, wired.com, etc.)
      • Subdomain name cells (en.wikipedia.org, www.facebook.com, video.wired.com, etc.)
        • Specific type and specific subdomain names
      • Specific type and specific domain names
        • Specific type and specific subdomain names
