Common User Agent Strings

\n

You can force an up.time monitor to check a web site as a particular browser by adding a user agent string to one of the following monitors:

\n
• HTTP (Web Services), in the HTTP Header Settings field.
\n
• Web Application Response Time, in the User Agent String field.
\n

A Web browser sends a user agent string to identify itself to a Web server. The information in a user agent string includes the operating system on which the browser is running, as well as the name of the browser and its version number. The content of a user agent string varies by Web browser.

Note: see the Wikipedia User Agent page for more information on user agent strings.
