Try changing the User-Agent header sent in the request method to the one IE
uses. It will be something like:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0).
To change the user agent you will have to set the http.useragent parameter
in the method. For more information see
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/preference-api.html.
The following solves the problem:
client.getParams().setParameter("http.useragent","MSIE 6.0");
Thanx!
