I would like to make a small proposal for another useful option in dillorc: A customizable User-Agent string.
I think this might be useful for some users that want to mime another browser in order to avoid vulnerabilities due to zero day security problems or that want to test their website with several browsers and User-Agent strings.
I think I'm currently in favor of a configurable User-Agent header for privacy. - It might be good for dillo to start sending an Accept header. I send one because I use a Firefox user agent string, and sometimes servers don't send content if one isn't doing a good enough job of pretending to be Firefox. (I've never seen the Accept header convince a server that I dont want application/xhtml+xml or multipart/mixed, though, unfortunately). - Possibly we could print a MSG when we see User-Agent in the Vary header (it tells us when a response was in some way determined by that header). I would probably like that, but perhaps others would find it irritating.
