[Tutor] HTTP_User_Agent?

[juno@gamefire.com]

Hey Daniel,
I had the same problem until I removed the 4.0, then it worked. Try this:

h.putheader('User-Agent', 'Mozilla')

That should do it.

Subject: [Tutor] HTTP_User_Agent?

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to create a web client using python for use testing asp. My
problem
is formulating a user agent header so that the server thinks my bot is
mozilla/4.0 compatible.

I have written a test asp page that returns the user agent varible. And this
works fine with an ordinary browser.

My python script contains the following line:

h.putheader('User-Agent', 'Mozilla/4.0')

However, when I test the script against my test page, no user_agent is
returned
at all.

So I am guessing I have written it incorrectly. Does anyone out there know
how
to do this sort of thing?

Many thanks in advance,

Daniel
