USA Today Online: Error, Error, Error!
This the programming wtf of the day, a USA Today page that gives me three different responses:
1) A visible “404 Object Not Found” error messages, along with debug text “HTTP/1.1 404 Object Not Found Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0 Date: Wed, 10 May 2006 22:10:33 GMT p3p: CP=”CAO CUR ADM DEVa TAIi PSAa PSDa CONi OUR OTRi IND PHY ONL UNI COM NAV DEM” Connection: close Content-Type: text/html”
2) The header “403 Access Forbidden” served up by Microsoft IIS 5.0
3) The actual content, “Journalists under pressure Covering war, mayhem did not prepare them for horror…”

Here’s a hint to anyone developing web applications. If you can find the content, and I can see it, you can’t give me either a 404 or a 403 error.

Are they iframes or some other included file? They look like they’d be where an external ad server would show up. Not so bizarre in that situation.
