              via IEBlog (IE7 Team Blog) | EXTREMELY USEFUL tool for WebDev HTTP debugging

            • IEBlog : Internet Explorer 7 User Agent String

              My first suggestion was to use a simple rule in Fiddler to change the outbound User-Agent header:
              static function OnBeforeRequest(oSession:Fiddler.Session){
                  oSession.oRequest["User-Agent"] = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0b; Windows NT 6.0)";
              }
              

              As it turns out the desired result was not obtained via this little hack but after following the link to learn more about Fiddler I definitely am liking what I'm seeing... Definitely something that will find its way into my standard utility belt, especially with as much client-side development as I have planned for the coming months.

              If you are running Windows and have the .NET 1.1 runtime installed I would definitely give this little gem a try...

              [UPDATE: Heres a tutorial to help get you going with scripting this tool.]
