It's not possible (for Level 2 domens)
You can apply:
*.zdnet.com but
can't: *.com

Reason: Konqueror should be visible in server logs, otherwise all webmasters 
will ignore it.

Yes.
In fact, there are some cases where it is more standard-compliant than 
Mozilla.
You can look at:
http://htmltests.newmail.ru
(screenshots for Konqueror are for KDE 2.1 Beta2, so current Konqi, 2.1.1 or 
2.2 pre-Beta, should perform better)
You will be surprised to see how buggy is MS IE 5.0/5.5

DOM implementation in KHTML/Konqueror is very good, CSS handling is pretty 
good as well.
While, of course, there is always a room for improvement.

If you find a site that doesn't work with Konqueror, send bug report to

[Cooker] Konqueror User-agent

2001-04-05 Thread Eugenio Diaz

Any body knows what is the format for the server mask in the user-agent
configuration of Konqueror? What about precedence when there is more
than one definition matching a server?

For example, if I want to put a definition that applies to all servers
as a default definition, how do I write the server mask, "." "*", or
what? It is not documented in the help, and I couldn't find it anywhere
else.

BTW, does any body knows if Konqueror is more standards compliant than
the latest MSIE before 6.0?

I have noticed a disturbing trend lately, more and more pages fail to
work nicely with Netscape (specially under Unix) and almost always, when
I look at the URL it is an ASP, and most of the time the error is
something in the lines of "VBscript error at line ### Object this and
that". I started thinking that it is just sloppy programming on an
specific site, but as I have found more and more of these problems, I
have tried them under Windows, and guess what? it works. I don't know
crap about ASP, but I do know a lot of clue less sites are starting to
use it because of the availability of lots of object libraries. And not
to bring conspiracy theories, but I am beginning to think that
MicroShaft may be selling this to companies as a platform independent
software (i.e. web server software duh!), when in fact they could be
using client side Windows components in some of their object libraries?
If this is true, the Linux community must put this on the public view.
Anybody with more ASP knowledge want to throw in your 2 cents?

Just enter the toplevel adress of any side to match all locations
underneath it. For example when you want all sites at
http://www.foobar.com to receive fake user agent strings
enter 'foobar.com'.

First entry matches.

 For example, if I want to put a definition that applies to all servers
 as a default definition, how do I write the server mask, "." "*", or
 what? It is not documented in the help, and I couldn't find it anywhere
 else.

Wildcards (*, ?) are NOT allowed (and not needed anyway).

Cheers,
A.

Do you mean that a default, or matches all (read below) entry should be put
last?

  what? It is not documented in the help, and I couldn't find it anywhere

If you read my post I said all servers, not all documents. What I meant was how
do you match anythig, or in fact a default. My first logical choice was ".",
meaning the root level of DNS (not quiet logical for IPs though), but that did
not worked.

Thanks.
