Hi, Elinks has an interactive configuration system accessible with F10. What you need here is this: F10 -> "Setup" -> "Options manager" -> "Protocols" (expand options list with the '+' key) -> "HTTP" -> "User-agent identification" and then push the "Edit" button. There you can craft your own user-agent header. Setting it to " " causes Elinks to send no user-agent header at all. HTH, Morten
