It looks like it's a new browser pickiness issue. I tried four
different browsers on my 10.9 system, and none worked. The latest
Chrome on 11.x+ worked, though not earlier Chrome versions. But
TenFourFox on a G4 running 10.5 worked (and I was even able to get
authenticated access via GitHub). So it's not a "too old" issue; it's
just a "let's be obnoxious" issue.
I was able to get around it via User-Agent spoofing, though it took
multiple attempts to get a ticket display working again, probably due to
browser cacheing.
If it's what I think it is, it's actually a "trying to block abusive
crawler bots that ignore robots.txt" issue. They were overloading Trac
to the point of being almost unusable, and many of them use a User-Agent
string that matches an old Chrome version.
If you let Rainer or Clemens know your User-Agent string, they might be
able to add an exception.
