The main problem is not that they set the accept headers wrong (I don't think netscape does - are you sure its broken?), but that they do not specify the maxsize, maxtime or quality attributes on the frigging things. Which can completely hose things when you then send a */* at the end, which netscape and mosaic/X both do. -Bill Perry
