Either that or people have been using a stock squid configuration file with a fake user agent to throw people off the scent :
Excerpt from the squid.conf file straight out of the box : # TAG: fake_user_agent # If you filter the User-Agent header with 'anonymize_headers' it # may cause some Web servers to refuse your request. Use this to # fake one up. For example: # # fake_user_agent Nutscrape/1.0 (CP/M; 8-bit) # (credit to Paul Southworth [deleted email address] for this one!) # I know I've used that one myself (plus a variation claiming to be MSIE for those sites which refuse to talk to non-MS browsers).
