Poesia is a software that offers an Internet filter for content.
Poesia is a software application that provides an Internet content filter. Funded in part by the European Commission, Poesia is a Public Opensource Environment for a Safer Internet Access. Poesia is designed to filter harmful content in various channels such as Web, email, and Usenet news. The software utilizes innovative technologies to ensure more effective filtering compared to other products.
Poesia offers a range of filtering modes including image filtering, natural language text filtering, URLs, PICs, and JavaScript filtering. The software is initially available in English, Italian, and Spanish, with additional work required to cover other European languages.
The latest release of Poesia includes several bug fixes and new features. The bug fix includes chown all installation directories, which had root privileges. In addition, the software now correctly parses the X-Client-IP header provided by Shweby, correcting the client IP address value in displayed history. Also, multiple headers like "Set-Cookie" are forwarded as they are needed by web applications such as Sourceforge, phpMySQL, and Mantis.
Poesia now detects the content type with both Content-Type header and file extension, as some sites omit the Content-Type header. Additionally, the software limits the number of displayed items in history and alternates colors when displaying history. The software has also added the enabled option in filters and database, at start time only.
In the Shweby module, the software now sends the X-Client-IP header to the monitor, and error pages are sent when the HTTPS protocol is requested. The Italian release features fixes such as the removal of the MySQL connection and its replacement with an XML configuration file, fixing SIGSEGV when the monitor disconnects.
Overall, Poesia is an effective Internet content filter that offers a comprehensive range of filtering modes and uses innovative technologies to ensure efficient and easy blocking of harmful content.
