<cUrl_Http>.UserAgent = UserAgentString

String.

 

Parameters

 

 

Remarks

 

A User-Agent (UA) string is information included in the HTTP header, acting on behalf of a user. When you connect to a website from a browser, the UA informs the website from which browser the request is coming from, its version number and operating system.

 

A server may respond differently to specific user agents. Therefore, you might find yourself needing to change the UA string.

 

If you give an empty argument to user agent (""), it removes the header completely from the request.

 

By default, curl uses curl/VERSION, such as User-Agent: curl/8.12.1.

 

If user-agent is provided several times, the last set value is used.
