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
