Hi Ben, I installed the Sun 1.5 Java, but even with Firefox 1.0 I have to spoof as IE5 Mac, else it just dies at the redirect screen, same as Firefox 0.93.
I'm happy to cooperate with you guys in a letterwriting campaign to StGeorge, perhaps we could discuss an effective approach offline.
cheers
Rod

Hi Sonia + all,

I think the simplest advice is to install Sun Java 1.5.0, as that seems
to work from at least two browsers without user agent spoofing. That
would seem to be quite usable, even if not īsupportedī. However, if they
change something to stop that from working, then I think we have a good
cause to start a letter writing campaign.

It would also be good if they would add Linux to their list of
explicitly supported operating systems. Is this what you had in mind as
a goal for your lobbying emails?

Ben.

Hi,

I know this is a long running Slug thread (StGeorge online banking and
their lack of support for Linux), and that you can get around it using
UserAgent spoofing.

But given the new warning StGeorge are putting on their site when you
logon, and the latest IE6/XP/SP2 security advisory [1], a few lobbying
emails to StGeorge wouldn't go astray :-)

(yes, I read SlashDot [2] too...).
