Todd,
Here is something from WebView.h
/*!
@method setCustomUserAgent:
@abstract Set the user agent.
@discussion Setting this means that the webView should use this
user-agent string
instead of constructing a user-agent string for each URL. Setting
it to nil
causes the webView to construct the user-agent string for each URL
for best results rendering web pages.
@param userAgentString The user agent description
*/
- (void)setCustomUserAgent:(NSString *)userAgentString;
There are a couple other user agent related APIs, too.

If you're building a cocoa application that links to WebKit and
includes a WebView in its UI, what's the best way to configure the
user-agent string the WebView uses in both outgoing HTTP request
headers and also the JS window.navigator.userAgent property?
e.g., say you were building a web browser and wanted to spoof safari.
for altering the "user-agent" request header, the only thing i an
come up with is to implement the ResourceLoadDelegate method:
webView:resource:willSendRequest:redirectResponse:fromDataSource:
and return from it a new request that contains the desired header.
this seems to work, but not sure if it's best?
as for the JS navigator.userAgent property, it seems to be read-only
when i try to explicitly change it from:
webView:didClearWindowObject:forFrame:
I haven't found a way to change the JS property yet.
seems like this might be a common need... is an ER for a method for
controlling the user-agent string in the WebKit client api in order?
thanks,
todd
