Quoting Trent W. Buck (twb@cyber.com.au):
Also I stopped using polipo a couple of years ago, because it was crashing too much and breaking too many sites. (For example, Wikipedia now returns no content if your query contains no User-Agent at all.)
My preferred value for User-Agent remains 'W3C standards are important. Stop f---ing obsessing over user-agent already.'
See: 'User Agent' on http://linuxmafia.com/kb/Web
Yes, that's exactly what I do now (sans elision). http://www.cyber.com.au/~twb/.curlrc http://www.cyber.com.au/~twb/.wgetrc http://www.cyber.com.au/~twb/.w3m/config http://www.cyber.com.au/~twb/.config/midori/config Occasionally that causes problems, too -- I noticed that Atlassian Crucible completely fails to work in midori, where I set that... but it works fine in GtkLauncher, the test browser that ships with the webkitgtk library that midori is using. It occurred to me (after it was too late to confirm) the most likely case was Crucible sending different content depending on U-A.
