It's been a while since I last dug around in this part of gnatsweb.pl,
but you have certainly spotted a really headache-inducing area. I am
pretty certain you could add an infinite number of browser-specific
redirects here, but I am a bit surprised that Opera would fail to work
with the methods already used.
The authentication system should probably be reworked and I am hoping to
get a bit of work done this autumn. I have several changes pending that
need to be applied in order to support some of the new features
committed to GNATS after the 4.0 release. I have had quite a few
interesting patches submitted to me over the last year, so it is
probably time to start searching my inboxes and start doing some real
work again, especially now that GNATS development seems to have accelerated.
