[Webtest] Setting User-Agent (newbie?)

[Peter Cruickshank]

Hi Mittie

Thanks for the response.

Can you give me a rough clue where to look? - I searched the list (or agent 
and user-agent) and found a messages from Stephane Besson in April 2003 and 
Marc Guillemot in Feb 2003 complaining about the same problem - with no reply 
to either as far as I could see.

I also found the original announcement by you in May 2002 of the ability to 
add header info, so I guess it's somewhere in between, if only I could think 
of the right search term. I couldnt see it by scanning the quarterly message 
listing...

At some point, it'd be cool if the examples in the documentation were updated. 
Or a note was added to the troubleshooting page with a link to the patch. (I 
know it's easy for me to suggest, since I wont have to do any of the work!)

Cheers.
