Pan,
That is a good point. I just tried that. It still doesn't work - I also
tried getting rid of the http_ as another person on this list recommended,
and that does not work either. Could be that I am still not feeding it the
exact user agent value it is looking for...

Have you tried setting the user_agent to an older version?
Might be that the receivning app isn't filtering correctly
for 5.01 ....
