[NTLUG:Discuss] Faking another Browser.

[Steve Baker]

My wife has been trying to access a web site that seems to be testing
to see which browser we are using - and it complains if you are using
anything *other* then Internet Explorer.  <grrrrr>

I vaguely recollect that you can tell Mozilla (or maybe it was one of
the other Linux browsers) to lie to the HTTP server and pretend to be
some other browser (eg Internet Explorer).

I've looked all over to try to figure out what to do - but I can't see
that option anywhere.

Does anyone have a clue how to do that?

(I understand that the web site in question *might* still not work - but
that's a risk I'm prepared to take).
