Changing HTTP_USER_AGENT

[mralston]

How do you change the HTTP_USER_AGENT header sent by your browser to websites?

I know it can be done - many ISPs do it with their CDs made using the IEAK.

IE has a registry key:

Thanks very much. I knew it must have, but I couldn't find it.

See this...

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; BTopenworld; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; Voyager)

That's changed enough to satisfy my needs...the "Voyager" bit is the name of my machine that I have put in as a test.

The reason I couldn't find it in the Registry is that I was searching for "BTopenworld" and guess what...it's not in there!! How did they manage that? Where is that saved?

Just guessing here, but they probably change it while you're browsing:confused:
