  • UserAgent: Mario's UserAgent Browser
  • Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded (set automatically for POSTs - but can be overridden)
  • UA-pixels: 1152x882

After a request, all response headers and return codes are available for inspection including:

  • Accept Ranges
  • Status Text
  • Cookies - including multiple cookies on one file!
  • Content Type

Multiple headers with the same name (for example multiple cookies - Set-Cookie) are easily viewed with the QueryInfoEx method.

System Requirements:

  • Any 32-bit windows program that can host an ActiveX/OLE component.
  • wininet.dll in the system32 directory
*Note that due to a problem with wininet.dll that comes with Internet Explorer 4.01, SSL will not work. IE4.01 and above disable SSL! Use a version prior to IE4.01 on your server machine, or contact Microsoft for details on when a fix will be available. Customers report variable results with IE5.
