[OU] Identification problem

[Bessenyei Balázs]

"It always displays;

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; en)

Not as IE."

I see no problem here, that is exactly the the Browser Identification  
string of IE 6.0 It has some histroical reason, there was a time when  
Netscape (Mozila) 4, was more advanced in terms of features than IE. So  
some websites started to check whether they dealing with the advanced  
mozilla or the lame ie. After MS added the features those sites still  
didn't work. So they decided that they claim themself to be mozilla  
compatible.

Unfortunatly nowdays, some sites are useing scripts to identificate  
browsers. The scripts are checking features unique to that browser or  
works differently in that browser than in others. In this case changing  
the browser identification string won't fool the site. Of course user java  
scripts can eliminate that checking to.
