Description Dr Mike Turnbull 2003-10-09 01:13:43 UTC 
Version:           4.0 (using KDE 3.0.3)
Installed from:    Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.0 3.2-1mdk)
OS:          Linux (i586) release 2.4.19-16mdk

My school uses a webservice to allow ppupils and staff access to network files over the internet.   The system, called Easylink from Research Machines, does not allow access using any browser other than Windows Internet Explorer.

Spoofing Konqueror or Mozilla has no effect.

The site for access is a secure site:

I'd love to see this work with Linux - it would realloy make a point in the school!

  You can manually go to /Authorise/Default.asp

   Does that make the site work?

George,

You're a genius!!!

It works.

Thank you SOOOO much.

Now I'll show them that Linux can really do the job!

Thanks again,

Mike

So there is no bug. 
 
Except maybe KJS not providing method navigate() to the window object.

  The problem is either that the JS (window.navigate) is not being called, or 
it is not working.  Haven't bothered looking yet.

*sigh* ask questions first, shoot later.
