I am downloading files with the WebClient class in .NET 3.5. I would like to be sure that on the server side, the files requested appear to be downloaded with a IE client. What do I have to change exactly?
Do I have simply to copy the header information generated by IE to the Header property of the WebClient object? Is there anything else I need to do?
Thanks
Depending on your needs, just setting the user agent header might be enough. There is an example at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.webclient(VS.80).aspx
The short answer is yes.
The following code provides the complete header information, Just run it in the browser zou want and you will the settings you should done.
<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var x = navigator;
document.write("CodeName=" + x.appCodeName);
document.write("<br />");
document.write("MinorVersion=" + x.appMinorVersion);
document.write("<br />");
document.write("Name=" + x.appName);
document.write("<br />");
document.write("Version=" + x.appVersion);
document.write("<br />");
document.write("CookieEnabled=" + x.cookieEnabled);
document.write("<br />");
document.write("CPUClass=" + x.cpuClass);
document.write("<br />");
document.write("OnLine=" + x.onLine);
document.write("<br />");
document.write("Platform=" + x.platform);
document.write("<br />");
document.write("UA=" + x.userAgent);
document.write("<br />");
document.write("BrowserLanguage=" + x.browserLanguage);
document.write("<br />");
document.write("SystemLanguage=" + x.systemLanguage);
document.write("<br />");
document.write("UserLanguage=" + x.userLanguage);
</script>
