wtf is wrong with Chrome?   Anyone ever see this message?

Gone

The requested resource

is no longer available on this server and there is no forwarding address. Please remove all references to this resource.

If the website were actually gone, I might understand this message.  The website is of course, not gone, and works just fine on all other browsers.

Never seen it. It's Googles representation of a 410 error.

But i don't use chrome. I always felt it was the worst piece of crap to come out of google labs.

Never have but I know they made some changes recently.... What URL were you trying to get too?

I figured it out.  It's because of a user agent block list I use in .htaccess that forces a 410 error on a UA string match.  It worked with earlier versions of chrome.

Apparently something about this UA string:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/36.0.1985.125 Safari/537.36

Is falsely matched by this:

This works: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/24.0.1312.56 Safari/537.17

This doesn't: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/36.0.1985.125 Safari/537.36

It has something to do with the Chrome version numbers

I think it's this.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} (\<|\>|\'|\$x0E|\%0A|\%0D|\%27|\%3C|\%3E|\%00|\@\$x|\!susie|\_irc|\_works|\+select\+|\+union\+|\&lt;\?|1\,\1\,1\,|3gse|4all|4anything|5\.1\;\ xv6875\)|59\.64\.153\.|85\.17\.|88\.0\.106\.|98|a\_browser|a1\

The 98 i marked there i think is matching with the 98 that exists in your UA string here.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/36.0.1985.125 Safari/537.36

Try removing the 98 along with one of the pipes on either the left or right side of the 98 in the RewriteCond and see if that corrects the problem.

Yep... that was it.  Good eye.. thanks
