102881 - brainbench.com - Not Acceptable (406) error at brainbench / assess123

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[gheller]

When using mozilla to take brainbench tests,
(the brainbench tests are at urls like
http://www.123assess.com/assess/bt.jsp?pin=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX where
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX is the pin number they email you, I get the following error
406:

Not Acceptable (406)

The file that you requested could not be provided in a language, character set,
or data format which is acceptable to your web browser.


This works with IE or Netscape.  I do not know if they are specifically
excluding Mozilla, or if it just doesn't support something required for
brainbench or assess123 to believe it can send me the page.


Any Ideas?

Sending to Evangelism to contact Brainbench.  Maybe they have some software that 
wants Accept: */* and chokes when we send a useful Accept header...

Marking these all WORKSFORME sorry about lack of response but were very
overloaded here. Only reopen the bug if you can reproduce with the following steps:

1) Download the latest nightly (or 0.9.6 which should be out RSN)
2) Create a new profile
3) test the bug again

If it still occurs go ahead and reopen the bug. Again sorry about no response
were quite overloaded here and understaffed.

I can't confirm this because I don't have a PIN. Any idea?
