Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.4) Installed from: SuSE RPMs Today I came across a site ( www.centric.nl ) that I can't visit with Konqueror, because it thinks my browser is not capable enough. It doesn't work, whatever option I choose from Tools - Change Browser Identification. With Galeon I _can_ visit the site, but the menu's don't work ... So Galeon probably coincidentally sends a User-Agent string that the site actually accepts ! It's : Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Now I would like to know if there's a way that I can add my own User-Agent string, without recompilation ? If not, can you add functionality to add your own browsers to the predefined list ? Best regards, Eric
There's no GUI to change the UserAgent to a custom value manually. But you can do that by editing your $KDEHOME/share/config/kio_httprc. By the way, that's a site bug, not a Konqueror one. I'm changing to wishlist. (no uachangerplugin component; maybe adawit should be added to the Cc?)

I know it's a site bug, I told the webmaster, but the reality is that many of them don't care, darn I hate the MS monopoly !

You can create custom user-agent string file manually and place them under $KDEHOME/share/services/useragentstrings/. See http://webcvs.kde.org/kdebase/kcontrol/kio/UA-DESKTOP-FILE-HOWTO?rev=1.6&view=markup
I was about to create a bug about this but searched first and found this one. I know people keep saying to edit a file but seriously why can't we have this in the GUI. This functionality should exist. Put this in the GUI! If not for 3.x then KDE 4
+1 for this request, and the built-in browser list/categorization should also be updated.
Would this be a plugin? And would it be a JJ?

It would be part of the uachanger plugin. Possibly a JJ, yes.
