(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/125.5.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/125.11

Here is a sample from my logs (I do not use Firefox myself, so do not know if this is reproducible, but it 
happens a lot).  The "hydrio_epifiles" part of the uri is introduced by Firefox, and is *not* in the original 
HTML.

[Jim Davis]

I get 403 errors all over the site, rendering diagnosis a little bit problematic.

Comment 2

[gavin long]

The "hydrio_epifiles" bit will be added into the URLs in the saved copy of the
page when a user saves the whole page to disk.

At first glance, I would guess that some user has saved the page, then attempted
to un-mungle the image links in the document to point them back at the server,
and messed it up.

reporter, are all these requests coming from the same place, or are they from
all over?

If it's not that, this is going to be an absolute doozy to try and track down...
