RE: VBScript runtime error on MSN sites

All right! The problem was: HTTP headers type User-Agent were anonymized.

When I downgraded to version 2.2-STABLE5 with the current hno snapshot, I
got the same error... Given that your running version was very close to that
one and worked, I began to suspect a configuration issue... which prove to
be that User-Agent headers were anonymized.
Apparently, some weird sites want to have a control on the browser you use,
sigh...

Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
