Nethopper is a pre http1.1 spec application. As such
there are things that Nethopper just cannot handle.
One of these things happens to be HTTP redirects. This
technique allows someone with a single IP to host
multiple domains. What happens is that the server
reads the http header of the page request and then
forwards to that particular virtual directory. A nice
handy way to extend limited server
resources...unfortunatly, Net Hopper can't handle
this, so that means that you will get the base root of
the IP...which happens to be that BSD site...oh well,
too bad...
Other things that Net Hopper can't handle are:
JPEGs
frames (including iFrames)
tables
javascript (and Java)
There are more, but I can't think of anymore right
now, but hey! It's free and if you're on a budget, you
pay nothing...
