Here is the Nav4.51 userAgent/appVersion strings on WinNT:
navigator.userAgent Mozilla/4.51 [en]C-NSCP (WinNT; U)
navigator.appVersion 4.51 [en]C-NSCP (WinNT; U)
Here they are on AppRunner M5 on WinNT:
navigator.userAgent Mozilla/5.0 [en] (Win95; I)
navigator.appVersion 5.0 [en] (Win95; I)
This misleads client sniffers.

This bug seems duplicate of bug# 806, and bug# 6054, but I think they are not
exactly same. Both of those bugs just talk about userAgent. Bug 6054 is for
win-98. All of these three bugs don't talk about navigator.platform and I think
I need to add that.
I tested these things on todays [1999-05-07-08] builds and they return wrong
values.
Here is test I conducted today.
Product: Semonkey. [apprunner/viewer]
Build: 1999-05-07-08.
OS: WinNT, Win98.
Steps to Reproduce Crash:
1] Please copy HTML code I'm providing.
2] Save it on your local drive, and open this HTML file in apprunner as well as
viewer [On WinNT as well as Win98].
3]This file will show you list of three navigator properties.
navigator.appversion, navigator.platform, navigator.userAgent.
4] compare results with expected results.
Expected Results:
WinNT:
navigator.appVersion = 5.0 [en] (WinNT; I)
Navigator.platform = WinNT
Navigator.userAgent = Mozilla/5.0 [en] (WinNT; I)
Win98:
navigator.appVersion = 5.0 [en] (Win98; I)
Navigator.platform = Win98
Navigator.userAgent = Mozilla/5.0 [en] (Win98; I)
Actual Results:
WinNT as well as Win98:
navigator.appVersion = 5.0 [en] (Win95; I)
Navigator.platform = Win95
Navigator.userAgent = Mozilla/5.0 [en] (Win95; I)
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Test Page</title>
</head>
<body >
<form name="workform">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1">
document.writeln("<h3>");
document.writeln("Navigator Properties");
document.writeln("</h3>");
document.writeln("navigator.appVersion = ");
document.writeln(window.navigator.appVersion);
document.writeln("<br>");
document.writeln("Navigator.platform = ");
document.writeln(window.navigator.platform);
document.writeln("<br>");
document.writeln("Navigator.userAgent = ");
document.writeln(window.navigator.userAgent);
document.writeln("<br>");
</SCRIPT>
</form>
</body>
</html>
End of Code.

I'm moving this to target M9, Necko will be enabled somewhere during late M8 or
early M9. We will need to get on this and it cannot be postponed past the M9
milestone.
Changing all Networking Library/Browser bugs to Networking-Core component for
Browser.
Occasionally, Bugzilla will burp and cause Verified bugs to reopen when I do
this in a bulk change. If this happens, I will fix. ;-)
