I can't reproduce this. I get "The requested URL could not be retrieved" page. Platforms: WinNT 4.0 SP4, sparc Solaris 2.9. Mozilla branch Netscape61_RELEASE + webclient branch JAVADEV_6_1_20010831.
Sorry. It's because I have a proxy. Without proxy webclient really doesn't do anything.
0.9.6 is long gone. -> 0.9.7
Target Milestone: mozilla0.9.6 → mozilla0.9.7
Basically for a non existent website like http://www.carspoint.com.
URL: http://carspoin.msn.com → http://carspoint.msn.com
Here are a couple of workarounds for issue 94385. Good Luck! http://mozdev.org/pipermail/browserg-tech/2002-March/subject.html
edburns: is this really targeted for mozilla0.9.7 ? If not please retarget
Target Milestone: mozilla0.9.7 → mozilla1.0.1
Changing the URL so it doesn't show up as an MSN bug.
URL: http://carspoint.msn.com → http://carspoint.foo.bar.com
