which user agent?
by joebuff75 January 10, 2007 12:15 PM PST
It would be interesting to know which user agent string is used by
PHP in this phishing script.

Webmasters could block access to their sites if the user agent is
something like "PHP Curl" or "libcurl" or something else and not
coming from a trusted server.

User-agent is basically a text header sent over the http and therefore you can make your agent appear anything you like even IE 7.0 if you choose
