By the way, just to show that this has nothing to do with Mozilla and everything to do with a bug in their scripts, try: MO='Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003' IE='Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)' (these are two strings I pulled off at random from the ivrix.org.il logs) $ curl -i -s -A $MO http://www.jobinfo.co.il/ HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error .. <font face="Arial" size=2>Invalid procedure call or argument: 'mid'</font> .. $ curl -i -s -A $IE http://www.jobinfo.co.il/ HTTP/1.1 302 Object moved .. Location: http://www.jobinfo.co.il/Content/Search/Channel_search.asp?ComeFrom=0 So obviously, their server intentionally looks at the user agent string, tries to do something with it, but does it buggily... It has nothing to do with any Mozilla bug or problem or un-microsoftness or anything. It's probably a bug in their VB scripts that they could find in 20 minutes instead of trying to explain why they don't fix it... We can make a game out of it, to find the shortest useragent string that will invoke this bug. For example, $ curl -i -s -A "Mozilla/" http://jobinfo.co.il/ also gives the same internal server error. -- Nadav Har'El | Tuesday, Jan 7 2003, 4 Shevat 5763 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |I don't eat snails.
