When netscape connects to a http server, it's sends something like this: GET / HTTP/1.0 Connection: Keep-Alive User-Agent: Mozilla/4.73 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 4.3-RC i386) And when you send a mail, in the headers you can see: X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.73 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 4.3-RC i386) So, 2 questions: 1) How netscape gets info from the O.S. and version (uname perhaps?) 2) How can I hide that info. I remember that wwwoffled has an option to hide the user agent, but i want to know how to prevent netscape to get it. -- Saludos,Ignacio.
