For example, fromthe link AnotherScott (very thoughtfully) reproduced: ...and in the event you've failed to grasp the concept of hyperlinks and reading the article, the are: * Opera 7.0: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.1) Opera 7.0 [en] * MSIE 6.0: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) * Netscape 7.01: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20021120 Netscape/7.01 Note that Karsten does not indicate here what Moz's string is, nor where to find it to modify it. For example, if this were Netscape, I might modify it to say something alogn the lines of: "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0 Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20021120 Netscape/7.01 Stop fscking obsessing over user-agent and code to W3C standards already." (underlining indicates my additions). My user agent string in my prefs.js reads: "user_pref("general.useragent.override", "Stop fucking obsessing over user-agent and code to W3C standards already.");" Where in there is the "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; yadda yadda yadda...)" stuff? Sory to appear dense, but I do embedded systems for a living; I really don't know this stuff! jb4 "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

The setting of the string is detailed there. [Added in Edit}: How to add the Mozilla/5.0 stuff is detailed [link\|http://mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html#prefs\|here] - scroll down to the "Miscellaneous stuff" section of "user.js". HTH.

Post #97,552 by jb4 4/21/03 10:00:03 AM Reply	Thanks, AnotherScott Your links filled in the missing pieces. Unfortunately, I still can't get the intranet site to believe I'm an Insecure Exposer user. My user agent string is now: user_pref("general.useragent.override", "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.0.2; Stop fscking obsessing over user-agent and code to W3C standards already.) Gecko/20021120 Netscape/7.01"); I'll fiddle with it later and see if I can fool it into working. If you see any glaring errors here, please let me know... thanx- jb4 "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

I would presume that IIS is configured to be as restrictive as possible about the string, meaning anything it doesn't recognize as a "default" InternetExplorer string will cause the browser to be rejected. === Implicitly condoning stupidity since 2001.

Actually, I suspect the problem is in the javascript, not in IIS. For the one site I tried, I looked at the javascript that renders it. The problem is that it invokes three other javascripts that I canot get to (easily, anyway...I don't know where they're stored, nor do I know how to get them anyway.) I suspec that theoffending check is in one or more of these javascripts. (My experience in the past with hostile javastripts has been that the javascript itself contains the check for orthodoxy, and that IIS doesn't sully its hands with such stuff. YMMV, of course.) jb4 "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
