Test Java Page Thinks I Am Using A Mac

[John J]

I installed Midori for the first time today on my Toshiba NB200 Notebook which is running Fedora 16.

I use the XFCE Desktop and have used Firefox for a long time so I know that Java is installed correctly.

In Midori I went to the "Verify Java Version" web page which has a URL of http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp
and the page displayed the following message
    "Mac Users:Use the Software Update feature (available on the Apple menu) to check that you have the most up-to-date
     version of Java for your Mac."

This was somewhat of a surprise since I am running linux!

I checked the same URL in Firefox and received the following message
    "Congratulations!
     You have the recommended Java installed (1.7.0)."

What would cause Midori to think I am on a Mac?

For compatibility purpose, the user-agent in automatic mode is set to : Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; fr-fr) AppleWebKit/535+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/535.4+ Midori/0.4

You may change it in Edit, Preferences, Network, Identify as.

Christian, can you confirm that this should be fixed with the new automatic string?
