Am trying to create an action for http://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx
Where you can input a domain name or ip.
So far, I've been unsuccessful.
Anyone here able to make it work??
mxtoolbox action
Re: mxtoolbox action
If you do any search using the site you can then inspect the resulting URL to find out how if/how your request is dealt with in the URL.
For http://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx with example.com as the test:
http://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=blacklist%3aexample.com&run=toolpage
So, we see "example.com" in the middle there. What we want is to generalize this URL for Flagfox using the custom actions syntax:
http://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=blacklist%3a{domainName}&run=toolpage
This, unfortunately, doesn't work. Took me a bit to figure out what this site wants; it's the "%3a" part that's the issue. Unescaping that back to a colon gets things working. Here's two working actions, one for looking up by domain name and the other for looking up by IP:
MX Toolbox (domain)
http://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=blacklist:{domainName}&run=toolpage
MX Toolbox (IP)
http://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=blacklist:{IPaddress}&run=toolpage
You can select and copy the two actions above and paste them straight into the Flagfox options dialog (ctrl+v or use the drop down menu next to the add actions button), or you can just drag them into the options dialog. (or of course, just paste them into a new action one at a time)
Took a little extra step this time because the site is doing something unusual.
