fooling a server

[autumn]

Hi,

I'm trying to download an image via a PHP script but unfortunately the server only accepts connection from IE browsers only!

I was wondering if there is anyway I can make the server think my script is from IE. As in send the sever IE headers??

does that make sense?

The header you need to send will be something like this:

User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0😉

Yes. I thnk the entire line of code to send a header is like:

<?
header("User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0😉");
?>

That would be to a client though, he is downloading the file with php so he would have to print the header onto his socket or whatever kind of connection he is using. The header() function is for a response to a client.
