I use Firefox. In my case, the server was upset that I wasn't running my browser on Windows or Mac. I changed the user agent string to tell the server that I was running the latest Firefox on Windows 2000, which made it happy. I tried for Windows 98, but couldn't get that to work. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
