19:12:21 <therube> ibm can't even display, what should be essentially a "text" web page, https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/integration-bus/10.0?topic=resources-changing-location-work-path
19:14:35 <tomman> therube: Ah, International Bullshit Machines
19:14:36 <tomman> "SyntaxError: invalid identity escape in regular expression"
19:14:45 <tomman> it's time to fire IBM
19:15:36 <tomman> Remember when IBM made great hardware and funky software?
20:25:32 <njsg> hm, let me check
20:28:14 <njsg> tomman: general.useragent.override.ibm.com, Wget
20:29:16 <njsg> Wget might have been just a browser name I came up with for a random value, no idea if it has to be wget, I don't remember why I chose it.
20:29:23 <tomman> njsg: that's SO IBM in spirit
20:29:46 <njsg> but I have some recollection of an override for this site being mentioned in one of the newsgroups
20:30:03 <njsg> with my luck, it'll probably be mozilla.support.seamonkey...
20:31:01 <njsg> tomman: it's always possible it's a hack in place for wget, lynx and so on :-D
20:31:23 <tomman> njsg: any "bogus" UA will default to sanity
20:31:36 <tomman> a "real" UA will trigger the Chromeisms
20:31:51 <tomman> for example, I'm trying a iPhone UA and it of course loads the broken version
20:33:22 <tomman> ...a Nintendo 3DS UA will also get served a page that no 3DS will be able to render, ever
20:34:50 <tomman> I even tried with the most business UA string ever, IE6
20:34:58 <tomman> alas, I still get served Chromeisms
20:35:09 <tomman> so it must absolutely not be a real browser string
20:35:47 <tomman> fittingly for IBM, even "Think" as a UA string will serve a human-readable page
20:41:25 <njsg> What about "Think different"?
