It has been noticed that some browsers cause problems when accessing your Joyent Connector. When trying to access most Connector pages, it will return a 500 error. Here are some fixes.

In this browser, the HTTP Accept header needs to be modified a bit. To do this:

1. In the Firefox address bar, enter ‘about:config’ (without quotes), and hit Enter
2. If you get a warning page, click ‘I’ll be careful, I promise!’
3. In the filter bar, type ‘network.http.accept.default’
4. Right-click the row with “network.http.accept.default” and select Modify
5. Add ‘text/xml,’ to the beginning of the line
6. Click OK

The modified default value should like this:

text/xml,text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8

You should now be able to use your Joyent Connector with Firefox 3 or Minefield.

This browser sends a blank HTTP Accept header. We need to tell it what to send for this header. To do this:

1. In the Opera address bar, enter ‘opera:config’ and hit Enter
2. Go to Network
3. Under HTTP Accept, change the value to start with ‘text/xml,’
4. Click Save

The modified default value should like this (paste this in if the default was empty):

text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5

You should now be able to use your Joyent Connector with Opera 9.
