From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686) Description of problem: When trying to access Redhat Network with Netscape 6.1 I only get back a blank page. This happens with all URLs I tried. (rhn.redhat.com, www.redhat.com/network/, www.redhat.com/network/main/login.html). When I access it with Netscape 4.77 I have no problem at all. The result is independent of wether I activate/disactivate Java support. (This happened on 20/8/2001 ~10pm CEST) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Whenever I tried today. Haven't used NS 6.1 before. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Netscape 6.1 on a Redhat 7.1 system 2. enter rhn.redhat.com 3. hit return Actual Results: An empty HTML page with only <html><body><body></html> when I use show source. When I have viewed another page before, the other page is still displayed. Expected Results: Guess you know that. Additional info:
Downloaded and installed the full Netscape 6.1 on a 7.1.94 box. Seems to work fine.
Finally found the time to investigate that problem further. I proved to be a problem with the Netscape configuration. I had played with the OCSP settings and it was still enabled. So NS couldn't verify the certificate, but didn't give any message about that. So it's a NS usability bug, but there is no problem with the Redhat Network web site.
