Better yet, notify the webmaster of the Wells Fargo Bank web site that they
should stop checking the User-Agent field in order to determine SSL
compatibility. That is bad web site design. Period.
Of course, my hunch is that you will either get a polite form letter saying
thank you for your input or you may get a response that that is the only
way to check for compatibility. If you get the latter, email them back that
their response is pure bunk. I access www.chapters.ca (a Canadian online
bookseller) all the time with both V and iBrowse and have never had any SSL
or other access problems. It just comes down to some commonsense web site
programming.
