Original author of the hack here. Several changes:

1) HTTP 1.0 vs 1.1 and lack of the Host: header, as you've all deduced

2) Additional encoding info tacked on after the Content-type causes parsing issues

3) Many sites now redirect to HTTPS by default. While Netscape 1.0 and Mosaic 1.0 both support HTTPS, it used SSLv1, and well, remember POODLE? :P

Newer versions of these browsers tend to work in native DOSBOX but present problems when running on the web. We're working on it.

Biggest problem right now is that the virtualized dial-up ISP is a bit flaky. For some reason PPP over TCP over Websockets via Trumpet Winsock isn't as rock solid as it should be :P

And once you get past all that, the JavaScript that's so pervasive these days wont run in those ancient browser. My Mac Centris 610 has problems with all those tracking scripts everywhere.
