Anyone else getting an error page about this site being reported to be an "attack website"?

  I think it's blacklisted by google but it appears to be perfectly safe

    Most attack sites do. Appear to be perfectly safe, that is. For anyone who wants to read the article, this works. (I put in URL_HERE as a placeholder because HN truncates the URL): lynx --dump URL_HERE > output.txt Ironic that to read the article, I used a technique that solves the problem the article is talking about solving. In a much easier way, I might add!

      Maybe that's the trick... It's a meta-article about how to _really_ get text from HTML. By figuring out you can just dump from lynx - you no longer have to read it!

      That doesn't solve the actual problem of extracting the article content itself from a page.

  Google SafeBrowsing has it flagged: http://safebrowsing.clients.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?client=Firefox&hl=en-US&site=http://ai-depot.com/articles/the-easy-way-to-extract-useful-text-from-arbitrary-html/ http://safebrowsing.clients.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnost...

  Only Google has it shit-listed, therefore Firefox does too by extension. Opera 9.5 and IE 7 (both w/ phishing detection as well) don't flag it. Google's malware detection engine has been known to be off plenty of times before - lost a startup I know a month's income because some bad sites were linking to them, before they apologized and undid their blacklisting.

  Of course it's an "attack website." It'll strip away your HTML, and then what will you have?
