Package: w3m
Version: 0.5.3-8
Severity: wishlist

I was reading http://panopticlick,eff.org and I see that it looks at
Accept headers to help "fingerprint" a user.  I thought: the simplest
thing was to turn off those headers, since I don't rely on them AFAIK.

It looks like I can't in w3m -- url.c:1294 will ALWAYS send SOMETHING,
and rc.c:1203 explicitly forbids sending the empty string.

Is this a reasonable thing to ask for?

I used to use polipo to remove my User-Agent header as well, until
Wikipedia refused to return content if no User-Agent was sent :-/
