hello,

I think that if you don't specify any header, webtest (htmlUnit in fact) 
works with IE 6 under Win 98 :
"INFO (com.canoo.webtest.engine.Configuration) - Surfing with browser 
4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98)"

If that is not the OS you want, try to add one fetched from this site 
<http://www.user-agents.org/index.shtml?moz>

As far as I know (and that goes not very far, I apologize) thats depends 
only on the underlying "browser" of webtest (htmlUnit) that does its 
best to simulate the browser you specify.

So I think you can find something about that in the HtmlUnit documentation

that 
<http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/apidocs/com/gargoylesoftware/htmlunit/BrowserVersion.html> 
could interest you... to see which browsers are supported, and that 
<http://lists.canoo.com/pipermail/webtest/2004q4/002955.html>
which is a bit old but explain the concerns

cheers
