Aaargh! Ronald, you're right! It works when tweaking User-Agent header 
e.g. with http://prefbar.mozdev.org.

When was this added to cas-server? Handling HTTP requests differently 
depending on User-Agent header really sucks. That's bad practice! I'd 
strongly vote for disabling this supportedBrowser check completely!

Ciao, Michael.
