Here¹s what I get from Safari...

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_4_11; en)
AppleWebKit/525.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1.2 Safari/525.22

And here¹s what I get from RevBrowser...
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_4_11; en)
AppleWebKit/525.18 (KHTML, like Gecko)

...so RevBrowser is missing the Safari specific info.

I just tried changing the HTTPheaders using the libURLSetCustomHTTPHeaders
command without any noticeable effect on the user-agent reported by a
request originating from RevBrowser ­ so that¹s not looking promising. This
really isn¹t my field of expertise though, so I¹m happy to be proven wrong.
