Does anyone know how to make it so it looks like im a linux computer to a php page, and make it so it looks like im using a different browser and so it looks like i came from a specified page?thanks

The only way I know is to telnet to that server and send ur own query string:

prompt> telnet server.com 80

GET /somepage.html HTTP/1.0
User-Agent: Mozilla 5.0 [Linux]
Referer: [url]http://www.server2.com[/url]

Remember to type the extra \n after the last header.

[mycro]

Im new to php.. Would that code just go between <? and ?> in a php file? Then where would i telnet from? Please explain. thanksa lot

<?php
header('GET http://page.com/file.php HTTP/1.0');
header('User-Agent: MSIE 5.0 [Linux]');
header('Referer: http://www.adobe.com/support/main.html \n');
?>

If you want to open a page with your browser and make it believe you're someone else, then no way.
The only thing I heard of is that mozilla allows custom user-agent, but that's all you can modify in browsers.

If you want to request a page with your hand-written program, say, php script, then you should learn a lot about [man]fsockopen[/man] and http protocol. Then you can send any nformation you want. But it would be a big achievement, to make it work 🙂
I believe there may be some libraries or classes somewhere on the Net for it, try searching.

I know it's possible to do easily. Maybe not with PHP. My buddy did it but he won't tell me how 🙁 i think with a proxy server though
