Finding a User-agent string when you need one

Submitted by rernst on Sat, 01/27/2007 - 6:53am

The Wikipedia article on User Agents has a lot of useful information.. particularly the long list of user-agents for different browser+OS combinations near the end of the article. I tend to use it regularly when I need to mimic a user-agent, say, for the purposes of downloading something with wget when a site refuses 'robot' downloaders.

Ah, the fun of spoofing
