When querying the bugzilla database the cgi spits out lots of "-- ThisRandomString". Most of the time this is just annoying, but sometimes (if you try and get a list of all the bugs in NGLayout for instance) it puts it infront of the MIME header confusing the browser somewhat.

What browser are you using? This is a legitimate "server-push" document. It ought to just work. It works for me (using Netscape 4.05).

Latest IE4 - 4.72.3110.8 Unfortunately the only other browser I have on this machine is NGLayout which is even less helpful atm :-)

OK, I had heard one other claim that IE was choking on server-push pages. I'm surprised; server-push has been around for a long time. Oh, well. I've changed the summary of this bug. I guess if I can correctly parse the user-agent, I can hack this. Blech. Can you tell me what the user-agent string that your IE4 is sending? (One easy way to find out is to start entering a new bug; I give the user-agent string back to you at the bottom.)

According to Bugzilla the user agent string is:- Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows 95)

Fixed by a change to buglist.cgi. (Well, except I can't completely test it, since I don't have IE installed anywhere.)

You don't have IE installed? You supprise me! :-) Well, if I run the same bugzilla query that caused the original problem, I still get some unwanted stuff on screen (like the cookie), but the page does indeed render, so I'm happy! Cheers.

The database is being reorganized a bit. Instead of the Bugzilla product, a new Webtools product has been created, with Bugzilla being a component of it. This bug is being moved from the old Bugzilla product to the new Webtools product.
