Custom User Agent in Safari 3.0.4

Is there a way to set a custom user agent in Safari 3? In the debug menu it only gives a list. Can I edit a PLIST file somewhere?
Anyway I'm doing this to fool sites into thinking I have Chrome so I'm not biased against.

Answering all questions:
I'm stuck at Safari 3 because I'm stuck at 10.5 (due to a freak glitch that neither Apple nor people on this forum could figure out).
I did load a new page and went to the site that tells me what my UA is. I also relaunched Safari and cleared the cache.
What I did was I modified a UA string that already worked (Firefox) and was on the list. I replaced the UA with the Chrome UA. I also tried making a NEW string. Neither worked.
I know how to change the UA in Firefox, but I want to make it Chrome in Safari 3 because I like Safari better (it has activity, debug menu, OS integration, etc).
I also tried downloading someone else's custom UA PLIST, which didn't have any effect. In fact, the file was originally missing once I reinstalled Safari (my old Safari had the file but it was buggy so I reinstalled).

How to specify a custom User-Agent for an HTTPService call?

I'm trying to have HTTPService send a custom User-Agent
string in the request headers but it seems to ignore the header=""
method.
Is there any documentation on how to do this? Or would I have
to use URLRequest instead?

Hi,
The column's style classes will be added on the <td> elements, not the header sadly. So for your use case you'll have to place the class on the table itself then use the selector
af|table.MyStyleClass af|column.formHeader::header-text{}Sadly this will affect all columns, not just one so I don't know if it's going to fir your need.

How to add iphone user agent in safari browser running on windows xp

How to add new user agent (iphone user agent) to safari browser(version 3) which is running on windows xp os .
thanks in advance

UPDATE: We were able to further identify the root cause of the problem to be when anonymous access is turned off and the subweb is set up to use basic and integrated authentication (IIS settings). To test this, we removed integrated authentication (leaving only basic authentication in place) and the problem was fixed. However, this is not a viable solution as we need to use integrated authentication (for various other reasons).

Custom User Agents with DMP

Can you configure Cisco Digital Media Players to use a custom user-agent?
Background: I'd like to create an identity on our proxy server based on the user agent to make it easier for our Digital Signage folk to roll out new DMPs, our current process is a little clunky. If they could manually change the user-agent I'd be able to create a policy so they could install them without any need for any additions on the proxy server.
Thanks
Chris

AFAIK- There is no way to forge the User-Agent (No configurable option to change that parameter on the DMP).
You can use the following URLs (on DMP 4400 and DMP4305Gin "URL to be displayed" field) to find out the User Agent DMPs use.

Is there a way to change my user agent from Safari to Internet Explorer?

Hello All,
I need to fill out a application on line and it appears that it does not recognize Safari. Sounds like it needs to see IE. Anyway to temporarily enable IE for this application? Otherwise I have to go use a PC at the local library....
These instructions below in no way match my Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on my iMac - they don't make sense to me. Any help/guidance is appreciated to fill out this on-line form. Thanks!
Apple Safari
If using Safari, you must have Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher version or Firefox 2.0.0.12 - Macversion web browser at the "User Agent" category or higher for Firefox. Use the following instructions to configure your Safari browser to access e-QIP.
On the Menu Bar
Select Edit box (top of screen)
Preferences
Security
Accept Cookies (only from site that you navigate to)
Advanced
Check the box labeled "Show Develop Menu in Menu Bar"
Click proxies - Change settings box (Opens to Internet Explorer (IE) Properties Boxes)

Click "Do not save encrypted pages to disk"
Click "Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed"
Click/enable SSL 2.0
SSL 3.0

John..
This may work but no guarantees ..
Launch Safari. From the Safari menu bar top of your screen click Safari. From the drop down menu click Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now from the Safari menu bar again, click Develop > User Agent
Try IE 7, 8, or 9.

Safari 5.0 changes user agent to become mobile device agent on G5 10.5.8

Safari 5.0 changes the default user agent on my two G5 Dual running on 10.5.8 deeply in the system , affecting ALL browsers in such a way that I can't access my CMS and my organization's website properly anymore. Each and every time it loads as 'default' user agent, but the 'default' user agent is now set to be some kind of mobile device.
I can check this since my organization has a script which detects which device you are accessing the site with and changes the layout accordingly. By setting the user agent to 'Safari 5.0' in Safari the page loads OK.
Worse is the fact that CMS works only with Firefox, and it's 'default' user agent is now also some kind of mobile device on my 2 different G5 Duals. This means that I can't access the CMS properly without manually go in and change the url. Doing a preview of a page in the CMS renders an error which can only be simulated by setting the user agent to 'default', both in Safari[5.0] and FF [3.6.3].
What happened here Apple?

Hi and thanks.
Perhaps I'm not clear enough.
On my 2 PowerMac's, PPC, 2x2 Ghz, 10.5.8 and all latest patches and security updates using
Safari 5.0 and Firefox 3.6.3 an Opera there ARE the problems I have been trying to explain.
On the 2 PowerMac's, PPC, 2x2 Ghz, 10.5.8, ALL browsers pointing to:
http://unfccc.int
jumps to:
http://unfccc.int/home/5198.php , displaying the page as if it was an iPhone or a BlackBerry.
On my 2 MacBook Pro's, Intel, 10.6.4 and all latest patches and security updates using
Safari 5.0 and Firefox 3.6.3 there are NO problems.
On the 2 MacBook Pro's, Intel, 10.6.4, ALL browsers pointing to:
http://unfccc.int
jumps to:
http://unfccc.int/2860.php , which is correct and displays the page correctly
On my iMac, Intel, 10.5.8 and all latest patches and security updates using
Safari 5.0 and Firefox 3.6.3 there are NO problems.
On the iMac, Intel, 10.5.8, ALL browsers pointing to:
http://unfccc.int
jumps to:
http://unfccc.int/2860.php , which is correct and displays the page correctly
There has been no changes to the CMS. CMS recognize the browsers correctly on all above, EXCEPT the from the 2 PowerMac's, PPC, 2x2 Ghz, 10.5.8.

How to get iphones / ipad user agent for internet access

Hi.
We recently setup some wireless, and I'm wondering how I can get iphones and ipads connected to the internet without prompting for a username and password. Even if it does prompt and we put in our domain credentials, things don't work.. it's like it heavily restricts access. However if you put DOMAINNAME\ in front of your user name, then it seems to work.
Without making static IP reservations and attaching those ip's to no authentication in IronPort... isn't there a way to assign these devices to a policy via their user agent string? Problem is finding that string amongst different versions of iphones and ipads.
I visited www.ipchicken.com on my iphone and it said Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 4_3_2 like Mac OS X; en-us)
AppleWebKit/533.17.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.2 Mobile/8H7 Safari/6533.18.5
What part of this do I copy into the user agents field for my no autnentication identity that I'm trying to alter? I tried putting AppleWebKit in, but it still blocks almost everything.
Right now in this Allowed User Agents identiy i have Windows Update checked, as well as these:
(MSOffice\x2014)
Microsoft NCSI
SSLSoapClient
AppleWebKit (does not seem to work)
Thanks for the help!

I think I figured it out. Followed this closely:
https://ironport.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/ironport.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1426&p_sid=ODIeCGuk&p_lva=1713&p_li=cF91c2VyaWQ9MXJvblAwcnQmcF9wYXNzd2Q9Zm8wQmE1
Also do you guys know if the custom user agent field can accept wildcards? Problem is, every version of iOS for iPhone 1, 3G, 3GS, 4, and iPad 1 & 2, or ipod touch (various generations) all have variations in their user strings. If I could just do a blanket statement for like *iphone* , *ipad*, etc.... that would be easier.
So are there any wildcards or txt masks that can be put in and interpreted in the custom user agents field?

How to block user agent?

Hi!
I would like to block Custom user agents in Ironport Web Security without blocking IE.
How can I do this to:
Chrome,
Safari,
Firefox,
Opera,
My WebOS 7.0

Hello Wilke,
You can check the access log for the user agents you want to block, and configure for those.
To find user agent:
a) Browser to
GUI -> "System Administration" -> "Log Subscription" -> 'Access logs'
b) Add
%u
in the Custom fields
c) Submit and commit the changes
Then
d) Grep or tail the access logs based on client IP address
e) The user agent string should be located at end of the access log line
Here is a close example, though this is doing authentication bypass:
http://tinyurl.com/m5kf9c
Then instead of configuring for bypass authentication, configure an access policy that will block all traffic from this identity.
I hope this infomratiom helps you.

Eric

Submit Referrer and User Agent via URL(Connection)?

Hi,
I retrieve some data via http using a URL (and a URLConnection) class. When I check the logfiles, the user agent information submitted by this connection is the name of the JRE-version.
So my question is: how can I submit custom user agent (and referrer) information? Possibly using the output-methods of a URLConnection?
kind regards
Oxy

urlconn.setRequestProperty("referer","www.domain.com");
urlconn.setRequestProperty("user-agent","Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0");

User agent for Explorer 7

My bank's online banking site is requiring explorer, with 128bit encryption. I am assuming that his is explorer 7 only. By switching the user agent in Safari's Debug menu it will accept Safari as the browser but it wants me to upgrade to 128 bit encryption.
Is this something that Safari can do?
Is this something that Safari 3 beta can do?
Never mind the bank for now - I'm going to give them **** tomorrow.

Hi Greg
Doesn't sound like your bank is very Mac friendly. User Agent tries to convince the Bank you are using IE 7 - not very convincing based on the response you're getting.
Safari 2 and 3 are already at the highest level of encryption for browsers.
Do you have an Intel machine? - if so, you could install Windows XP. Otherwise, you'll need to use a PC, or talk to the Bank about their archaic web requirements.

Safari 1.3.2 add new custom user agen strng to user agent menu?

mac g3, 10.3.9, safari 1.3.2. My isp (comcast) has become very picky about browser versioning. I'v activated the debug menu, and the site does not like any of the preprogrammed choices in the menu. now, I've downloaded Camino and the user agent switcher it offers. Comcast will allow the following string: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0 how do I add this to Safari ?

Hi
I don't have 1.3.2 to check here, but in 2.0.4 the agent string seems to be hard-written within Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari which can be accessed via the Finder by clicking Safari & choosing 'show package contents'
This is the only place within the 2.0.4 package I can find reference to the various user agent strings.
If that's true ( & I'd search elsewhere first...) you'd have to modify the text there.

Safari 4.0.3 Develop menu user agent default

I have noticed that whenever a new window is opened the user agent defaults to "Mozilla/4.0(compatible-MSIE 6.0 Windows NT 5.1-SV1-.NET CLR 1.1.4322".
Can I change the default to safari 4.0.3-Mac?

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions
That setting ought to appear as "Default Automatically Chosen". May be corrupted preference file. In the Finder, go to Your User Account>Library>Preferences. There, move the com.apple.safari.plist file to the trash, then restart Safari.
On the restart Safari creates a new preference file, so all settings are returned to default values. Therefore, you'll need to reset your Safari preferences to your liking, plus any custom settings found in the Edit Menu (spelling) or View Menu (status bar, Address bar, custom icons in the "Customize Address Bar" ). The Develop menu is not part of the default settings. To activate it, go to the Safari Preferences in the Safari Menu and select the Advanced panel. There, you'll see at the bottom the option to activate it.
