SYMPTOMS

If a Web form is registered with "browser = Netscape" and "request = GET", it is not recognized by any versions of Netscape Navigator later than 4.08. The default Web Client form is used instead.

CAUSE

This is a problem with the Browscap.ini file, which the Web form registry uses to match versions. The wildcard for Netscape Navigator later than 4.08 in the Browscap.ini file looks like this: [Mozilla/4.0*]. However, when a GET request is being performed, any version of Netscape Navigator later than 4.08 sends a user-agent string that does not match up with anything except for 'default' in the Browscap.ini file. For example, Netscape Navigator version 4.61 sends the following user-agent string: Mozilla/4.61 [en] (WinNT, I). This results in the behavior described in the "Symptoms" section.

WORKAROUND

Install a new Browscap.ini file from the following Web site:
