Difference browser and HTTPRequest IDs

[BarthaziAndras]

Hi,

I've found a bug: HTTPRequest just doesn't sending a browser id at all. A typical log entry:

127.0.0.1 - - [19/Sep/2007:15:15:03 +0200] "GET /xxx HTTP/1.1" 200 5449 "-" "-"

Instead of something like:

127.0.0.1 - - [19/Sep/2007:15:15:03 +0200] "GET /xxx HTTP/1.1" 200 5449 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; hu; rv:1.8.1.7) Gecko/20070914 Firefox/2.0.0.7"

The best would be, if the HTTPRequest would use the same id as the internal browser engine has. And just another idea: make it possible to override this default id, like:

var r = new HTTPRequest();
r.setClientId("Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; hu; rv:1.8.1.7) Gecko/20070914 Firefox/2.0.0.7");
r.get("http://kirix.com/");

Thanks for the suggestion!

As far as setting the HTTPRequest() agent, use the setUserAgent() function:

var http, result;
http = new HTTPRequest;
http.setUserAgent("Sample Agent");
result = http.get("http://my.sample.domain.com");
