Nutscrape 1.0?

Justin · 03-01-1999, 07:00 AM

According to my stats, I've had 17 hits with a browser named Nutscrape 1.0

I wonder if this is a program that actually exists, or if someone hacked Netscape?

Nutscrape/1.0 (CP/M; 8-bit)

That's what is says... Anyone else had this?

Heh.

Considering it says its a 1.0 version, it probably wouldn't support HTTP 1.1, CP/M is an ANCIENT OS, and 8-bit is hardly enough to do graphical surfing in, I'd say someone's hacking

hmmm.. seems it woulda been easier to download. *grin*

now justin, if someone is that clever to hack netscape, ya reckon he is the type to search out the crack to your software?

Hehehe, that's funny!

Ah, I remember the days of Netscape 1, with all grey backgrounds and that stupid blue "N" icon popping in-and-out, in-and-out the whole time . . .

Thanks for sharing, needed a smile this morning.

Info like this can give you a better idea what Browser/OS combo you may want to make sure your site works for.

As an example -- If I find all kinds of kewl DHTML code that only works for IE and my stats are showing that the majority of my visitors are using Netscape -- I've got a problem

I would also decide to not use to much Java if I find that most of my visitors are using older browsers that don't support it.

So for some -- the info is vital -- for others it's just 'wasting space'

Also note -- that you can hack up user agent so it shows something different (takes some time but can be done). If we felt like it we could surf with my IE but have it show in your logs as if I were using NS -- (don't ask me how)

Who sends the IP address (client domain)? Is that send from the browser or ISP? I'm curious about that. Been meaning to ask.

It'd be cool if I could hack IE to always show 127.0.0.1 for everything

Just for kicks.

In your web logs, the IP is written by Apache server gleamed from the actual TCP connection...

oh I meant what use is knowing the type of computer anyone is on hehehe - liek what do I care if they got a compaq or what? I aint done nothing with bropwser info but I've looked at it - find it mildly fascinateing that rr.org people tend to have MSIE but my personal site visitors tend more towards Nutscape -

I went and checked boith my sites and rabbitrescue.org had 9 req from "Nutscrape" - although it's not listed in detail - the in detail listings are the first 40 - -

didnt see it at my personal site -
man thats too funny - man I didnt realize just how much info there is there - in sme instances I can even tell who manufatctured the system someone is on - (ie Compaq, Gateway 2000, etc)
Do I have any use for that info or is it completely extraneous?
