User Agent for Inet control

Hi All

Using the INET control to extract data from web sites and was told that the
user agent should really be spoofed to make it look like a browser, as
search engines sometimes black list submitters who don't use browsers to
submit.

My queries are:

1) What header does the INET send to a web server?

2) How can I send my own bespoke header at the same time?

Thanks

Robbie

Hi All Just wanted to know if anybody knows the answer to the following quick queries: 1) The reason I'm using VB's INET control is to download copies of Ms Access DBs on a range of web sites so that I have a backup. Found out from my ISP that if my DBs go up the spout then it's down to me to restore - gulp!!! I've created a little FTP gizmo where I could download web pages OK, but not

what's the best option for using the Inet control in VB.net? Is there a control that's built for the .net framework that's similar to or better than the old Inet control? I'm opening a URL and port and passing data to that URL and port. The inet control worked fine in VB 6 for this, any ideas on VB.net? Thanks for any help.

Hi guys, I have put together a flexible client-side user agent detector (written in js). I thought that some of you may find it useful. Code is here: http://fotios.cc/software/ua_detect.htm The detector requires javascript 1.0 to work. This translates to netscape 2.0 and IE 3.0 (although maybe IE 2.0 also works with it)

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
