I never had the need to examine this before, so I wrote a little
program to check it out.
CF passes a HTTP_USER_AGENT of:
ColdFusion 4.0
I can understand arguments for and against allowing you to spoof the
user agent.
(Tango does).
I couldn't find anything in any CFDocs that says you can't.... but
that probably means... you can't.
In your case, maybe you can convince the ASP programmer to accept
ColdFusion 4.0 as a valid browser???
