[ptt-users] Setting User-Agent

[Chi Tong]

Hi,

I need to set the User-Agent in the http header to the
specific string such as 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U;
Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.12) Gecko/20070508
Firefox/1.5.0.12'.

I tried to do it in the test script setUp() by adding,

def setUp( self ):
....
        self.header = ProtocolHandler.getHeader(
'http' )
        self.header.set('User-Agent' , 'Mozilla/5.0
(Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.12)
Gecko/20070508 Firefox/1.5.0.12')

During the execution of the test script, the default
User-Agent, 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0;
Windows NT 5.1; SV1; Maxthon)', in the agentbase.py
was used instead by the http get/post methods.

Is there any way/method to override the default
User-Agent (or some other header fields) in the http
header for the http get/post methods during test
script execution?

I tried to modify the self.useragent value directly in
the agentbase.py right now for the User-Agent I need.

Thanks,
ct
