Changing the UserAgent

[magreenblatt]

Is there a way to Just Append to the current user agent information?

No.

Then, is there a away to get the current value before making a change? Or is it not really set at that point? Basically, all I want to do is append to the browser cap, the name of my custom browser along with the other information.

You'll need to retrieve the current value from something like about:version and store it in a hard-coded string in your application.

Any thoughts on how to do that?

I found that you can change the "product name" like this:

Code: Select all

CefString(&settings.product_version).FromASCII("MyTestBrowser/3.0");

Then the browser is identified as "MyTestBrowser Version 3.0" instead of the Chrome name. Just thought I'd share this in case anyone else was looking for how to do this.

Hi TherR74,

I registered just to thank you, you saved the day!!

Code: Select all

  CefString(&settings.product_version).FromASCII("MyTestBrowser/3.0");

  // Initialize CEF.
  CefInitialize(main_args, settings, app.get());
