We have received a lot of good reactions on Firefox in Romansh (rm).
Thanks to all of you who helped us with this!
Some people reported me about an error that occurs on some websites,
when visiting them with firefox 3.5 in Romansh. When you visit pages like

http://www.stadt-zuerich.ch/
http://www.opensourcecms.com/cms/cmsmadesimple/admin.html
http://www.college.ch/

It appears always an error page:

Method Not Implemented
GET to / not supported.

I searched other sites where the error occurs, but this are the only
three websites I found. I don't know where to search the error. Is this
only an error on the side of the servers, or is there something wrong in
our localization? Because I don't know why the error appears, I don't
know if I should file a Bug, or if I should contact the site-admins and
ask them to resolve the problem.

Thank you for your ideas

I don't think there is anything wrong with your localization, other
than your locale code. Changing the "general.useragent.locale" pref to
"rm" in a Swedish build also triggers these error pages. Same thing
with "id", "ls", "ps" and "cmd".

So those servers are most likely trying to defend themself against
command injection.

Ah, this is the point...
I can understand, I too, I don't like to type our locale code in the
terminal...
Thank you for helping!
In this case I'll contact some of the websites if there could be found a
solution.

Hello Gion-Andri,

you could use - as workaround - another locale code in file
/defaults/pref/firefox-l10n.js for general.useragent.locale, e.g. "rum"
instead of "rm". I don't know exactly, but I think this locale code here
is for the about dialog box only, "Agid --> Davart Mozilla Firefox". It
seems that the information about general.useragent.locale in file rm.jar
/global/intl.properties doesn't have any influence on that.
I tested using "rm" together with a region code (rm-CH) but the issue
remains. The hyphen (-) works as delimiter not as ordinary text. But
using "rum" avoids this error.


Regards,
Michael

The question is just if the pages react to that code correctly. IMHO,
this is really a bug of the websites (even if I know how it comes to
exist - if it wasn't about input into unix machines but into my body,
I'd make sure "rum" doesn't get too much either, actually).

err, please don't suggest to break locale codes for broken web sites.

You are right but I added the words "as workaround". That means for some
time. For a simple user the browser is to blame for those issues, not
the web sites.

What the entry general.useragent.locale in file firefox-l10n.js is for?
For the useragent string in about dialog box only? I suppose that the
locale of the GUI is based on the locale code in /global/intl.properties.

Michael

general.useragent.locale is the UI locale code. global/intl.properties
might be used in SeaMonkey, not sure. Note that resolving that requires
that your locale code is set, as it's in a localized file already.
