httpproxy authentication & agent simulation

[Mark Smith]

Franz, you can spoof the user-agent using another httpHeader:

set the httpHeaders to "User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE  
6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)" --  
or somesuch, this will override the default user-agent.

I'm pretty sure you can do http authentication with a header too,  
using the "WWW-Authenticate:" header, but I'm not sure exactly what  
form it takes.

Hope this helps,

Mark
