-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I don't really know javascript but my perusal of the code suggests that it is specifically setup to ignore browser spoofing and thus eliminate opera and any other browser that is doing a spoof. Thing is, I kept getting closer and closer to getting in with konqueror, to the point that the login page would appear perfectly fine, as would other "protected" pages like their password/login change page but shortly after it loaded, boop!, the browsercheck.js script would catch me out and dump me to the download page.
The script is somewhat stock with comments indicating that it is a simple comment out procedure to allow for spoofed browsers. In any case, it is pointless and ridiculous. All the need to do if they are so concerned about it is to add a bypass button and allow the client to make a go at it regardless. It will either work or it wont, then they may need to download/use mozilla or IE...but not before. It seems patently indefensible and unfair to out-and-out ban opera, safari, konqueror, etc, as a matter of policy. It most certainly isn't a security problem as IE certainly isn't more secure than opera, etc. Now that I know a little more about their check, I can try to ask that they allow spoofing. It's not like they have to recode the whole script. praedor On Sunday 12 October 2003 03:09 pm, Praedor Atrebates wrote: > Sorry...I suppose I shouldn't have attached anything. > > On Sunday 12 October 2003 03:01 pm, Praedor Atrebates wrote: > > Thanks, but that didn't work.
