Problem deleting allowed URL

[Stef]

Should be able to delete a URL in the Allowed URL list just by selecting/highlighting it and hitting the Delete button, but for some reason the URL's will not delete at all.  Have tried on several MT4's on VPS, and again on MT4 locally on my laptop, same across the board - cannot delete a URL once it's put in.  Anyone else having this problem?

It's working for me. Click the link and hit the "DEL" key. Then remember to click on the OK button at the end. Also, remember that the option "Allow WebRequest for listed URL" needs to be enabled so that you can delete them.

Hey Fernando!  Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.  I had done all of those things, "Allow WebRequest" is selected, I highlight the URL to delete, hit Delete button then ok.  As soon as I go back in to check it, the URL is still there.  Happens on every single one of my platforms, both local and VPS!  I don't know why.

Maybe you have some file corruption. The WebRequest URLs are stored in the in the "<data folder>\Config\common.ini".

The should be a line starting with "WebRequestUrl" under "[Experts]" as follows:

[Experts]
WebRequest=1
WebRequestUrl=2B41E91C62B45D9D5EF96DB2882501EF192FA5DBC214FD3DB92159AB5E9E4CE775BACB6806F45369134934866CAC27C2468BAD4AE5D32D433066

So, close MetaTrader, edit that file and delete the "WebRequestUrl" line, save the file, and restart MetaTrader.

I'll definitely try that, thanks so much Fernando!!

Sorry for the late reply. It seems that it is now stored in the "<data folder>\Config\experts.ini" file instead of the "common.ini".

However this is a binary file and not a text file, so it cannot be edited freely. It can however be deleted and the necessary options be input again.

EDIT: To find the <data folder>, go to the Menu — File → Open Data Folder.
