    Changing HTTP_USER_AGENT

    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.

    Get these: Mozilla Opera OpenBSD
    I have books for sale: "MCSD in a Nutshell" and "VB Distributed Exam Cram" - PM me for details. Will also trade for a decent ATX Pentium 2 MB/CPU/RAM combo.

    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
