Not necessarily - I wasnt able to get into that site with Arachne,
however LYNX-386 (on DOS, anyway) managed to get trough ok.. not that
it mattered since that site was filled with tons of little images
without ALT tags, and you know how good it looks like on a text
browser.. :P
Anyway, this seems to be an Arachne specific problem. My guess?
something about the URL handling.. the refered Directory had a %20 sign
in it. I remember something about Arachne having trouble with such
directory references in the URL in the past?.. (Getright used to
have the same problem as well.)
btw, about "discrimination", I can say that most of the webmasters
who build such sites do not intend to do so intentionaly. Well,
most of them, anyway. The problem is that most of them dont know
the simple fact that there are alternative browsers to Netscape and IE
out there. Those who also limit "older versions" usually do not think
about the idea that some people also stayed with their older browsers
instead of upgrading.. Its not about being "evil". Its about not
"thinking ahead".
