I keep getting a page that reads "precondition failed". Its not a big problem cause I can just use internet explorer without AOL.

Upon investigation, it looks like AOL's browser violates the HTTP specification. (D'oh!) I have a special module installed that blocks machines that do that because more often than not, it is a spammer using a poorly written bot to spider websites.

I just whitelisted that IP, but be aware that AOL uses a bunch of different proxies so you may see this again.

If it becomes a problem I'll just disable the module, as we can't justify blocking legitimate users.

(Also, I moved this off into the Beta Testers forum. And perhaps I should rename that forum to something that makes a little more sense...)
