This is extremely simple to implement. Make the pages parsed HTML, check the HTTP_USER_AGENT environment variable, if it contains Mozilla, return a message that reads something along the lines of 'hands off my keys', otherwise return useful data (GIFs, whatever...) Also, remember that Netscape Navigator crashes (or at least version 1.x did) on URLs that were very long, and also on pages that contained a long string of numbers...

Well, if you can run CGI scripts, it's very easy: you simply check the USER_AGENT field, and then send different versions. For an example, see http://www.cs.monash.edu.au/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/~jirib/no-Mozz You can make the script more or less drastic according to taste. Can't *anyone* write a simple shell script any more?

Well, going back to the LiveScript thread, it looks as if one could very easily write a small LiveScript prog to immediately bounce NS users on to another page (such as the "Christian" Coalition's manifesto on why you shouldn't be able to look at the stuff in the first place :).

How about a LiveScript bathing suit that covers up the interesting parts of the picture and replaces them with a statement that because they are supporting Netscape's (whatever), this part of the picture has been blanked along with indformation on where they can get an alternative free browser that will show the rest of the picture. -> See: Info-Sec Heaven at URL http://all.net/ Management Analytics - 216-686-0090 - PO Box 1480, Hudson, OH 44236
