220558 - arcor.de - Browser sniffing for Netscape6

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: German, defect)

Description

[Daniel Küstner]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20030917
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20030917

http://www.arcor.de seems to look for Netscape6 instead of Gecko - it delivers a
different page (mainly with a different stylesheet -
http://www.arcor.de/styles/tfag/nswin6.css) for Useragent with Netscape6 than
for a useragent string without it.

Other Geckos get the same stylesheet as Netscape 4 gets -
http://www.arcor.de/styles/tfag/nswin.css. This seems to be wrong. 



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In about:config set general.useragent.override to Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux
i686; en-US; rv 1.5) Gecko/20010726 Netscape6/7.1
2. Go to http://www.arcor.de
3. Unset general.useragent.override
4. Repeat 2.

Actual Results:  
After 2: The links in the right table ("Schlagzeilen") are not underlined and
get underlined when hovered. The stylesheet link points to
http://www.arcor.de/styles/tfag/nswin6.css

After 4: The links in the right table are always underlined. The stylesheet is
http://www.arcor.de/styles/tfag/nswin.css

Expected Results:  
All Geckos should get the same stylesheet.

Daniel, can you try to contact someone at arcor.de and tell them the problem?

Setting Milestone to November

If you click on "Unternehmen/Presse" (on the bottom of the page) you get this:
Bitte entschuldigen Sie die Unannehmlichkeiten, aber diese Website ist noch
nicht vollständig auf den Netscape Navigator 5.0 angepasst.
(Sorry Netscape Navigator 5.0 is not full supported)
