forgot to mention this is a commercial install build. not sure about mozilla
install or debug builds.

It doesn't work on Linux either.  Is that a different bug?  Joining this bug
until told otherwise.

When I go to a secure page, I get 16 processes of java_vm spawned on my system,
which continue running even after the page fails to load.  Then my system starts
getting slow.  Killall java_vm kills the browser as well as the java_vm processes.

This doesn't work on HPUX either.

And the return result is different going thru a proxy server:
	The requested URL could not be retrieved
	While trying to retrieve the URL: http://dsgw.mcom.com/bin/dosearch

Available proxy server here at Netscape, york.mcom.com:3128

I'm using the hpux build too, and going thru a proxy (york), I get what jimmyu
says above.

Change it to direct connection, then the top frame returns a netcenter search
for "dsgw" (open the frame further to see this).

The hpux build doesn't have java.  I seem to recall that pb recently made some
changes that requires java, but don't quote me on that.

Here's my UA string:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; HP-UX B.11.00 9000/785; en-US; m18) Gecko/20010108
Netscape6/6.0

I'm not sure who this should be assigned to, but it's probably not me.
