Starting at http://autos.msn.com, I am able to get to this page by clicking
Service and Repair.

Tested with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212

I am also able to get to it with Netscape 7.

Using Mozilla I was able to search for a repair location also.

Marking invalid. Please add further details if you wish such as your build ua
string.

Both Mozilla 2003030611 OSX and Camino 0.7 are sent to the Unsupported page. I
allowed all MSN cookies just to be sure.

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130 gets me
to the unsupported foo.

Fixed?  At least, this seems to work for me with Mozilla 1.6.

Comment 6

[Frankie]

RafG, are you using MacOS? The page also blocks Mac Netscape 7 and Safari.

p.s: "Mozilla/5.0 (Mac Gecko)" is blocked, but "Mozilla/5.0 (MSIE sucks; use
Mozilla Mac Gecko instead; Macintosh OS X rules)" is not.

[RafG]

Okay, I'm an idiot.  I was NOT using MacOS and somehow seem to have missed that
this bug was Mac-only.  Apologies for the useless comment.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if this was still a problem, but the URL given is 404. Anyone have a new link for it? I couldn't find anything in a few minutes of digging around.
