[Yr7-10it] google docs - images blocked - question

[victor rajewski]

I can confirm this is the case when using the department's filter.
Which is odd, since the images aren't coming from images.google.com,
but rather from http://docs.google.com/images/toolbar6.png but this is
still blocked. Two options - either ask your technician to whitelist
docs.google.com (or docs.google.com/images), or ask the department to
fix this anomoly (good luck with that :), or write to google. I think
the dept filter blocks the pattern *.google.*/images which
unfortunately also hits the docs uri.
