Today I’m looking at retro-web. The Symantec brand content filter has decided that stylesheets are potentially evil, and won’t allow them in. If I type in the URL of a stylesheet document, Symantec gives me this message—
Error: Internal proxy error: Unable to scan file due to disk full or other disk device error
I suppose blocking CSS in these circumstances makes sense—IE allows Javascript to be embedded in stylesheets—but I wonder why the proxy is still serving web pages.
Surprisingly, the web is usable without stylesheets. Ugly, but usable. It could be a lot worse.
