[Bug 1576371] Re: webbrowser-app doesn't fully work on titantv.com

 

I can reliably reproduce the issue.
When clicking the left/right arrows, I’m seeing the following error printed on the console:

    [JS] (http://titantv.com/:575) Uncaught ReferenceError: __doPostBack
is not defined

Some quick googling returns this:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3480362/dopostback-is-not-defined.
It looks like a programming mistake on the server side, you might want
to contact titantv’s webmaster to report the error.

If I change the user-agent string to use that of e.g. desktop chromium,
the functionality works as expected. So this is a clear case of the
titantv serving broken content based on the UA string. Definitely an
error on their side. If you report it to them, please mention that the
Ubuntu browser’s UA string is the following:

    Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Ubuntu 14.04) AppleWebKit/537.36
Chromium/35.0.1870.2 Safari/537.36
