I see - you are talking about the fact that the browsers do not even access to the html interface - at first I though it was about interpreting epubs as XML
Now I understand, and it's in fact logic: elibsrv decides what to answer with (OPDS or HTML) looking at how the browser presents itself. I detect Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and probably not much more. When elibsrv don't recognize the client, it assumes it is an OPDS reader (since elibsrv was designed primarily with OPDS devices in mind, the HTML frontend is only a 'bonus' thing I coded).
To avoid this "smart" autodetection, and force HTML output, you could use such URL:
http://elibsrv-demo.viste-family.net/?f=html
I'd be curious to know how the browsers that aren't working for you presents themselves... Would you have any way of checking this? Or maybe could your provide me the three last digits of your (public) IP address, so I'd know what I have to look for in my server logs?
