Adding User Agent toHiall,
You can now add http headers to the config.
The old config setup still works without change.
See the syntax ref for details.
Http headers are sent from your browser to the webapplication. They reflect
local
settings, like the language that the user prefers, the current browser
version, etc.
Webapplications sometimes use this information to display localized
information
or optimized pages.
With the new http header support you can test your application to deal with
this
information correctly.
have fun

Subject: [Webtest] Adding User Agent to
Hi,
Please consider adding the ability to specify a user agent attribute
(e.g., userAgent) as part of the config element.
This would allow the test to include a specific user agent string; e.g.,
<config userAgent="Mozilla/4.0" ...>
..
