Defect #2670

BotsFilterPlugin should not list Firefox
0%
Description
The BotsFilterPluin, located here: http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/BotsFilterPlugin lists Firefox as one of its User-Agents!
It looks like if the user-agent contains any of those strings, and the controller (approx.eq. URL first component) is one of a selected set, then it returns 404 and an empty page, but one of those User-Agents is Firefox, when it shouldn't be.
On another note, returning a 404 seems like the wrong thing to do, i can see returning a 403 (Not Authorized), but 404 is a positive assertion that something doesn't exist. at a minimum it should display some text saying what it is doing rather than just a blank page.

- Status changed from New to Closed
- Resolution set to Fixed
Firefox was added for testing purpose and not removed before release. It's now fixed.
A 403 response with a message is now sent too.
