Whos Online plugin is requesting invalid URL /plugin/imonline

This discussion is related to the WhosOnline addon.

"GET /plugin/imonline HTTP/1.1" 404

This plugin requests an invalid URL when URL rewriting is disabled. I guess the fix is similar to the recent fix to the Quotes plugin:

I had this same issue. My investigation and solution are here:

In short, you can change the requested url to be:

/index.php?p=/plugin/imonline
The javascript is assuming you have friendly URLs enabled, so you have to alter it if you don't. The author, @garymardell, is planning a fix that will take advantage of a new javascript function to be more agnostic about this.

I'm not sure if it's the same, but WhosOnline 0.8 crushed my forum by generating a blank page and inducing an endless load of the page in Google Chrome.

First the forum gets loaded for a split second than the browser-screen blanks white.
URL rewriting is enabled.
