OT - Antennex

[Mike Harris-9]

Good day,

Could someone please test the Antennex URL:

http://www.antennex.com/shopping.htm

With that or even http://www.antennex.com all I can get is a warning about
not mass downloading with no further access.

The reply I received to a direct query is:

It's something, like an addon in your browser. Nothing wrong with the
site. All standard Mozilla-type browser work fine.

Try a different browser perhaps.

All the best,

I run IE6 without any add-on's which works perfectly OK with every other
site I try.  I can't believe this site could be so specific with respect
to browser and neither am I that bothered to want to install another.

Regards,

Mike VP8NO

These worked fine with IE6 and with Firefox.

Good day,

Many thanks to all who replied.  I have tested with our ISP and they get
the same result as I do using IE6 & IE7.  Mozilla seems to work OK.

Very odd.  They use some pre fetch for their cache but you would think
that would affect both browsers.  I routinely scan for spy-ware.

Anyway, again thanks, something I will have to ponder.

Regards,

Mike VP8NO

The prefetch is what is getting you.

They have a "Hoover-trap" built into their pages with a link which
MUST_NOT_BE_FOLLOWED.  IF you follow it (or the pre-fetch does), you are
deep-sixed by IP and you get the Mass Downloading notice.

I'm not sure why it is working for one and not the other unless
Mozilla is the source of the pre-fetch.
