fyi: Manatee Economic Dev. Council vs. Mozilla

Posted by: drahcir on September 29, 2004 12:32 AM
Curiously, when I tried the <A HREF="http://www.manateeedc.com/" title="manateeedc.com"> http://www.manateeedc.com </a manateeedc.com>
web site with Mozilla (1.7.2 for FreeBSD), I got the
"sorry" page you describe. But when I tried using
KDE's Konqueror, I was able to open it just fine without adding the site to Konqueror's masquerade list.


This seems to be a case of deliberate bad design
(targeting Mozilla for a denial) rather than
favoring one particular browser.


B.T.W.: A "perl" script I have that uses "curl" to
extract the web server identification reports that
http://www.manateeedc.com is:

www.manateeedc.com -> HTTP/1.1 : Microsoft-IIS/6.0
