Heh! This reminds me of when I built the Thomas Cook UK eCommerce site with BroadVision. Back then, AOL was using the 16-bit IWENG browser and it truncated and corrupted URLs and would actually crash the BroadVision server. Since TC had a relationship with AOL, they escalated the issue and AOL gave us permission to detect the IWENG browser and redirect users to a specific page on aol.com. The URL they gave use was aol://something-or-other (yes, a 'magic' AOL protocol, not an HTTP-style URL!) and the page it went to informed users that they must upgrade their OPERATING SYSTEM from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95...
Laugh? I nearly did...
