(...) In Netscape 4.5 I just see raw HTML when I follow the links (IE 4.0 seems to work though, but it's not my browser of choice). Chris (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Unofficial Parts Update
 
(...) OK. I'm guessing that's because the detail pages have names like parts.3001.html. I noticed that IE 5.5 displays the page correctly, but the '.html' is cut off in the URL box. I'll get back in, and change the names to parts_3001.html. OK, try (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Unofficial Parts Update
 
(...) Nope - still just shows me the HTML source - and the .html extension is not included in the URL box. Same problem in Netscape 4.7 from different PC. If I cut an paste that HTML to a file, then I can open that file OK in Netscape. Chris (23 years ago, 21-Jun-01, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

  Re: Unofficial Parts Update
 
(...) That sounds cool and reasonable, except that (AFAIK) the files *do* have .html extensions, there are no redirects involved. See, I'll just login to the server, and cd to the unofficial/parts dir, and do an ls -l, and you'll see that all the (...) (23 years ago, 21-Jun-01, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) OK, we've got that (now). (...) Are you saying that the server is removing the ".html" from the response? So what I'm seeing in IE is expected behavior? Steve (23 years ago, 21-Jun-01, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

Steve: (...) Yes. Or to be exact: If you ask for (URL).html it will redirect you to (URL) (which in general will identify the same document) (...) Yes (as far as I remember your message). Jacob (23 years ago, 21-Jun-01, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

Hi, I am really glad to see that we're making great strides forward with the parts tracker and the parts review process. Any chance of getting an approximate date for the next Official Parts Release? (23 years ago, 7-Oct-01, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
