I am looking for 'win' in user agent as that IS the USER Agent I am using to test. It should evaluate to true and give a 423 error.
I do not want to test it using curl. I am trying to see if I can return a 423 error. It is a TEST! I am running it locally to see if it will block. It doesn't. 'Win' is in my user agent - as I am testing.
