[Solved] 'blocked' site Google Chrome

Post#1 by buttons » 27 Sep 2016, 14:18

This was happening only in Google Chrome on Porteus 4. Thought I'd try with latest version. Same problem - if you try and access the site http://www.jet2.com you get a denied error message.

The message in the browser window reads:
Access Denied

You don't have permission to access "http://www.jet2.com/" on this server.

Reference #18.e4edef50.1474985181.4d048a4
Works perfectly fine in Firefox!

Hello buttons,

Perhaps the site owner allows only certain browsers? I have tried with Chrome on my Desktop and getting the same error.
This issue is not related to our system.

Thanks.

Works perfectly fine in Chrome on Windows! Also tried it in incognito mode on Windows too and was fine.
Works fine using Firefox on Porteus Kiosk.

fanthom - thanks - I put browser_user_agent=Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/6.0) in the config file. The site works but for some reason Chrome decides to try and open Msie/ as a page, Windows/ as a page, NT/ and Trident/6.0 as a page.

Also tried it with " around the string.

Set it to just Mozilla/5.0 and that seemed to do the trick. Thanks for your help.

This is a bug introduced in 4.1.0 release. Fixed now so you may download this ISO again and use full agent string.

Thanks,
