Was there a case in any server-side language where a code did not work in a browser while it did work in the rest?

I am asking this because I can't imagine such a scenario because server-side code runs in the server, not in the browser but I have seen discussions where, as said, there were "server-side browser compatibility issues". I can't seem to recall where I have read it.

Thanks in advance :)
