Does UIWebView send the same User-Agent in the Request Headers as mobile Safari?

September 20, 2023 by Tarik

Web requests made from UIWebView will not include the word “Safari” in the User Agent string. Web requests made from Mobile Safari will.

I don’t know how easy it is to hook up to automatically, but it seems to have the sort of info you want. Update from Original Posting (don’t want to steal your upvotes): I … Read more

Strange User Agent With Google Chrome

August 14, 2023 by Tarik

The UA string tells the long and tragic history of (in)compatibility attempts. See e.g. this for a brief history of the UA. It should also make clear that UA sniffing is useless, as every modern browser pretends to be many other browsers. That is also the case you see here: Mozilla – the most ancient … Read more

Fetch a Wikipedia article with Python

August 4, 2023 by Tarik

You need to use the urllib2 that superseedes urllib in the python std library in order to change the user agent. Straight from the examples import urllib2 opener = urllib2.build_opener() opener.addheaders = [(‘User-agent’, ‘Mozilla/5.0’)] infile = opener.open(‘http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Albert_Einstein&printable=yes’) page = infile.read()
