Marshall:

Heh, heh! I didn't mean to imply that using a different agent string is a nutty idea. I've simply seen that suggestion in concert with this sort of request before. I gather that many web apps offer useless results if they don't see an agent string they recognize. (Such as "Oh, it's not Internet Explorer? Then instead of giving the browser the intended data, I'll send them to the Firefox page which doesn't do anything yet.")

The nutty part is me offering a suggestion on code relying on modules I'm unfamiliar with. I intended the comment as a disclaimer.

When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.
