sorry, but blocking at the firewall/proxy level based on user-agent is one of the most absurd things I've ever heard. If they are doing it to disallow 'viruses' and whatnot from traversing the firewall, well, the virus writer can TRIVIALLY change the user-agent string to.. say.. IE, and get right through. In fact, since clamav provides the source for you, you should be able to TRIVIALLY change the user-agent string. grep, $EDITOR, and an exercise for the reader. Problem solved. -Jeremy
