Proxies and antivirus software are the scourge of the production website. The absolute scourge.
I cant count the number of times one of our clients has complained that something has broken, accused us of being useless because we cant fix it, and we subsequently discover they are running some ancient stinky version of MS proxy on a Windows 98 box somewhere.
Happens ALL THE TIME.
Ignoring cache headers as well - that's a great one. Tell the browser never to remember the page, but it goes ahead and remembers it for the next two weeks. Marvellous.
Yep, I hate that shit more than IE6. At least you know where you are with IE6.
- henrikschroder 16y agoThere was a time, before AJAX, when Norton Antivirus thought it was a great idea to protect users by rewriting javascript on the pages according to god knows what rules. I was working on a website which used a pretty complex javascript client, and had users which were... on the low end of the computer-saviness scale. The only advice that worked for these users was "disable Norton AV completely". Good times. :-)
