All of the links under Recent SVN Activity on http://www.netsurf-browser.org/downloads/riscos/testbuilds give an error page when clicked on eg 12120 leads to http://source.netsurf-browser.org/?rev=12120view=rev [Snip] As a side note, this also reveals that OpenDNS may not be a good idea with NetSurf because OpenDNS error pages use javascript and the noscript section doesn't work here either.

OpenDNS diverts you, using JS, to its own search engine (which I have heard, is done by Yahoo). Oh dear. This means that their DNS servers lie to you about what exists and what does not exist. This breaks a startling number of things, as discovered by Verisign when they tried to do it for .com, causing them to hurriedly backtrack on it. Anyway, this isn't related to NetSurf, or the problem reported (which is an accidental server misconfiguration, not a DNS fault.) B.

Yes, it still does. One example is http://source.netsurf-browser.org/?rev=12120view=rev but any of the similar links from the test-builds page does the same. This is with RISC OS NetSurf r12104. I haven't tried with Windows Firefox, but am just going out for the rest of the day; I'll try Windows in the evening. With best wishes, Peter. -- Peter \ / zfc Lu \ Prestbury, Cheltenham, Glos.

Problem on test build page.
When I visit the test build page, I usually click on the links from the latest build numbers, to check which are applicable to the RISC OS versions (the rest of the details are incomprehensible to me). Since this morning, I get an error message, saying: Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, [no address given] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. I don't know how to contact the server administrator, so I'm mentioning this here. Thanks in advance, Peter. -- Peter \ / zfc Lu \ Prestbury, Cheltenham, Glos.
