Bypass websense uncatogorized page error

[Luke]

To bypass it you use the GET parameter, basically adding a /? at the end. So http://www.example.com/ becomes http://www.example.com/?. I've used it on several websites/images at school and it actually works! I've been to my website (works only with the /?) and downloaded CakePHP (when all downloads are blocked). This only works with Uncategorized websites and most likely not all downloads.

I used to use this trick back in secondary school. Have yet to test it in the current websense systems though. "Uncategorized" pages are hard to come by.

Sites that use SSL would frequently bring up the page "Uncategorized" web page. Example, logging into name.com
