Changing user-agent

[Shades of Chaos]

Hey guys,

I am trying to change my user agent like this

[req setValue:userAgent forHTTPHeaderField:@"User-Agent"];

Where userAgent is an NSString and it seems to work in the app because when I NSLog it it shows up as what I changed it to

NSLog(@"user agent = %@", [req valueForHTTPHeaderField: @"User-Agent"]);

But when I go to this site Whats My User Agent? the user agent is unchanged. Does anyone know why this could be.

Thanks
Clinton

Do you mean, when you point the request you created in your iOS app at that site, you don't see your custom user agent info?

Or do you mean when you go to that site from Safari, you don't see your custom user agent?

When I got to that site in safari I want to see my custom user agent

That won't work. Safari uses its own user agent string. The user agent you set on a request in your app only works for that one request in your app.
