Safari User Agent and unsupported websites...

Thanks, this is actually a good idea!

Another one, which I am not sure about really... If Safari allows you to make custom user agent strings, make one that has the same stuff as IE but maybe ads one more thing like:

"Apple Safari posing as IE"

into the string, so that it will show up in logs or analisys - but most browser detection codes will get the pertinant version info out of the beginning of the string... I dunno, but something to think about. When I check my server logs I get all sorts of creative User Agent strings showing up...

Type this in the Terminal to change the default user agent:

defaults write com.apple.Safari CustomUserAgent "\"user agent string\""
