Gagan just checked in a fix for 17293, 17244, and 20814 and his description says "all because some servers wouldn't understand lowercase HTTP headers. We now send HTTP headers in compatible case as 4.*."

He mentioned something very similar in your bug report. Maybe this fix corrected your problem as well.

I think maybe MozillaZine should automatically add a n/t to the end of messages that contain no text, possibly in a different colour. It should be separate from the subject of the message so it will not be included in replies to the message. I realize this message may be "off-topic" but is it not better than a "n/t"? :)

I should do more reading honestly, you may be right.

This seems very liberal to me, compared to the previous status quo. It looks like open source crypto code can finally be open -- perfect for mozilla.

--quote-- Global Exports of Unrestricted Encryption Source Code

Encryption source code which is available to the public and which is not subject to an express agreement for the payment of a licensing fee or royalty for commercial production or sale of any product developed with the source code may be exported under a license exception without a technical review. The exporter must submit to the Bureau of Export Administration a copy of the source code, or a written notification of its Internet location, by the time of export. Foreign products made with the unrestricted source code do not require review and classification by the U.S. Government for reexport. This license exception should apply to exports of most "open source" software. --quote--

David Hyatt's new eXtensible Bindings Language goes a long way toward making this a reality. It allows styling of at least the scrollbars in an easy fashion (meaning Pete Collins or someone like him can make a scrollbar to emulate basically any system imaginable). We can only hope the rest of the widgets follow suit.

A snowball's chance in hell, at worst.

Referring to a Linux version, I mean. Microsoft can NEVER support Linux; it means that they are directly supporting their competitor (Microsoft and Apple aren't direct competitors because they work on different hardware). To do so would mean that people would suddenly find Windows to be optional: who would stick with a crash-prone operating system (thus giving money to MS) when they could switch to a free, relatively crash-free operating system with a perfectly wonderful free browser?

Surely you can see that Microsoft wouldn't do that. The bottom line is the almighty ruler.

Beyond that, I don't doubt that IE will one day be standards-compliant. Do I think it'll happen before Moz ships? No. Not while MS can still steer the Web towards only running on Windows (Do I think MS cares about the Mac? Nope. They make a browser for Apple because they still make several hundred million dollars on Office [nothing else] on Mac.).

Maybe MS will prove me wrong. But they haven't done it in the past. I have no reason to think the future will differ from the general trends: embrace, extend, and eradicate.

I don't know if Microsoft came up with it but it is being standardized. They did come up with the Schema notation. I'm not a big fan of Microsoft but atleast they are trying to standardize. It is derived from SQL and implemented as another part of XSL. It lets you add loops instead of implementing a script to XSL.

mooo
