I got a completely white page:
<html><body></body></html>

Sounds like their fault to me.

How can it be their fault if it works just fine with my (recent nightly) Mozilla?
I believe this is due to a bug where slow connections caused Mozilla to show an
empty page - and another bug where an empty page shows an incorrect,
nonexisting source.
If this is correct, it is unfortunate though, that this bug is in 1.2.1.

If you spoof your UA to be an IE browser the correct page is loaded and it displays properally.

As for why it works for you Johann_P my guess is that your UA isn't being reported properally, either a bug in the nightly build or you changed your UA in the past and forgot to change it back.

Doesn't work for me 20021205 Phoenix win32.

If Bushwack is right about it working by spoofing IE, then this is indeed their fault.

Blank page 2002120408/win98.

Some form of server side browser detection I guess.

But a strange one. If I use a self-made script to request the page without a user agent or exactly the user agent of my Mozilla build I get the page delivered. Using Mozilla itself I get the blank page. Btw: it's an Apache server using the FrontPage extension...

NO! UA Spoofing is BAD!

My user agent string is, according to http://www.privacy.net/analyze/:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021204

Must be something else.

The interesting thing is that the server does try to set a cookie (which I declined) before the blank page is displayed, so there must be a page prior to that, because <html><body></body></html> can't set cookies ;-)

One question: Is this a particularly good/interesting/informative or important site ? If not, why bother trying to figure out why it behaves the way it does? I am starting to get fed up with unimportant minor sites that are coded crappily. Why should we waste our time on this one, unless there is a compelling reason.

I am sorry if I am sounding rude, but there are so many dimwits / jerks who run sites and so little time.

Try http://www.dnbscene.com/ with mozilla

I disagree

It's the page

Re: It's the page

No strange UA
