Need browser identity string
 
Currently I'm using this string: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

Searsphoto.Com now requires Netscape 6.2 (Mac) or 7.0 (Windows) or higher, IE 6.0 (Windows) or higher, or AOL 7.0 (Windows) to view pictures.

I need a string that allows my browser to identify itself as one of these bloatware browsers. I've tried making one, but I can't seem to make a valid one.

Does anyone have a valid string? It doesn't need to be Mac, just valid.

Here's the Browser string from IE6 on Win2000

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)

Here's the Browser string from Mozilla Firebird in Gentoo using KDE

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031117 Firebird/0.7

Thanks.

There are a lot of websites where you have to mis-identify the browser to access them if you don't use the IE or Netscape. Unfortunately mis-identifying the browser didn't work this time. I'm going to have to download a bloatware browser to access it.

Yeah. Opera offers a feature which allows you to change its ID string on the fly so that when you come across sites like that, you can quickly change it.

Since it appears you use Mozilla - try this extension. It allows you to change the UA string as well as a lot of other cool stuff.
