Hi Janina, Where do you put these strings? Thanks ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janina Sajka" <janina@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2004 4:57 PM Subject: Re: Links the chain Did your bank let you in? Or did it complain that you're using an old browser and offer to help you download something more modern? I ask, because this frequently comes up with banks. It's the mis-use of http headers that has been the subject today. What you can do is to tell a little lie--though we call it masquerading. You "Masquerade" as IE with a string like one of the following 3: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Q312461) Each of these three examples ould go on one line, of course.
