User Agent, JavaScript, cookies and Java?

Wed, 2008-04-09 23:40 — Samuel

Is there any way to change User Agent globally or even better if it can be changed per Test basis?

How about JavaScript, cookies or Java?

Re: User Agent, JavaScript, cookies and Java?

It isn't currently possible to change the User Agent, though I could consider adding that in a future release. If you really need it now, you could use curl with a Script service.

You can set cookies in the Edit Test window.

Thanks for fast reply. I

Thanks for fast reply.

I think curl is way too complicated for my skills.

Se it would be really nice to just check box in preferences to do this kind of things.

Thanks

I've made a note of the feature idea. Thanks for the suggestion!

Would also be interested in ability to easily change user-agent

We have an application (uPortal) that responds with a page that requires the client to choose whether they prefer WML/HTML when it doesn't recognize the user-agent header. It would be nice if you could specify headers (or at least user-agent) as an easy to set "advanced" setting in Simon.
