$15us PayPal Reward to solve

I've already had a couple of folks look at this problem and still no luck so I'd thought I'd make it interesting and offer a reward.

I'm using SME Server 6.0 final as the gateway and can't get to a particular website.  If I hang the pc outside the gateway I can get to the website without any trouble.

The website URL is https://tonir.theonenet.com/TonIR/default.asp  

As an FYI it seems that the website probably needs IE because when going to https://theonenet.bankone.com/bolOneNetIndex.html and clicking on the link for "wires" in mozilla I get a blank page but in IE it works.  The link for "information reporting" is the URL we can't get to.

Our finance department needs to access the website for some kind of online banking information and is really anxious to get this fixed.

Let me know if you need further information.

Thanks,
Jeff Martin
MIS Manager

Your guess is basically correct.  Mozilla is proecessing the Javascipt differently to IE.  When clicking on the links it looks like the referrer item is not being parsed properly under Mozilla or the programmer has used MSJava specific calls to run the process.  May I suggest you contact this organisation and ask them to test it under Mozilla as well IE.

I tested with IE6SP1 & Moz 1.6 through an SME 5.5 server and Netgear SPI router.

Good luck  (my bank here is OZ has already implemented a couple of my suggestions so its not impossible, just slow)

I wonder why your able to get through with SME 5.5 and I can't get through with SME 6.0 final?  I can't reinstall here since it's a production environment.

Good suggestion about contacting them and asking that they make their website compatible with Mozilla.

Anyone else able to get through to the site when behind different versions of SME Server?

The reward is still on the table for someone to solve this problem.   :-)

I've just tried it with Mizilla without firewall and it didn't work. It looks like Mozilla compatibility issue, not the SME.

Thanks Boris but if you'll give it a try using IE from both behind the SME and not behind you'll probably find as I did that it doesn't work when behind the SME Server.

Smeghead reported he got through from behind a 5.5 server.

Anybody tried yet from behind a 5.6 server using IE as the browser?

I've tried from behind 4 different servers all of which were using 6.0 final and had the same result of not getting through.

Thanks,
Jeff

If this is a caching issue, you can try to disable squid

/sbin/e-smith/config setprop squid status disabled
servicie squid stop
servicie masq restart

It did help before with access to some nonstandard compliant websites.

I can get through using a sme v5.6 and IE 5.5 SP2 browser. The whole site is accessible with no problem.

Thanks for the suggestion Boris.  I had tried this but gave it a try again just to be safe.  Still no go  :cry:

I wish I would have found this nice contrib before I fumbled around trying to do this by hand.

Still doesn't work.

Thanks for reporting Ray.

Any 6.0b3 users able to get through?  

If there are any 6.0 final users that can't get through maybe you could leave a post.

Thanks,
Jeff

I am still behind the same 6.03b
Maybe Mozilla can not process a hidden with empty value as the id="message" shows ?
