How to specify a user agent for browser control?

[afe]

Hello,

Can specify a user agent for browser control?

Thanks.

Code: Select all

Gui Add, ActiveX, w980 h640 vWB, Shell.Explorer
WB.Navigate("https://autohotkey.com/boards/")
Gui Show

I don't think you can do that with Internet Explorer/ActiveX Controls,but.... you could do the following below,and update the page with the html retrieved using the method below...

To Verify user agent is modified in example below, comment out the line specifying user agent & see what happens.

Code: Select all

whr := ComObjCreate("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")
whr.Open("GET", "https://www.google.com/search?btnI&q=apples+oranges", true)
whr.SetRequestHeader("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.100 Safari/537.36")
whr.Send()
whr.WaitForResponse()
html := whr.ResponseText

;// write the Google Source to an HTMLfile
document := ComObjCreate("HTMLfile")
document.write(html)

;// loop through all the links
links := document.links
while (A_Index<=links.length, i:=A_Index-1)
	If !InStr(links[i].href, "about:")
		list .= i ") " links[i].innerText "`nURL: " links[i].href "`n`n"

MsgBox, %list%

Cheers.

Thank you.

My intention was to embed a web page, but I was having a problem. It is the embedded webpage that seems to notice that I am not opening it with a browser. It will prompt for additional warnings. I think this should be related to the user agent. If can provide user agent information, perhaps it will not prompt for some additional messages.
