| [http://1997.webhistory.org/www.lists/www-talk.1993q4/0500.html Changelog]. GET requests use presently invalid protocol version.<ref>GET ''url'' HTTP/'''V'''1.0

Fix: load exe file into hex editor (also available online, for example [https://hexed.it hexed.it]). Search for string "HTTP/". Remove byte with letter "V", insert byte after string "User-Agent:" and set it to space. Save the file under new name.</ref> Redirections are supported.<ref>Browser hangs when "Location" header isn't an exact match (for example if its all in lowercase like on this [http://jigsaw.w3.org/HTTP/300 redirect test] page)</ref> Crashes on pages with unsupported image files<ref>Also crashes when image source doesn't contain an url with file extension.

Supported images (information taken from exe file; both lowercase and uppercase file extensions): gif (not animated), bmp, pcx, xbm.</ref>
