How to add a custom user-agent string to Konqueror
You can easily set a custom user-agent string for a specific site through a predefined list of user-agent strings. If you want to define your own custom user-agent string I did not find a gui for that. The solution I found is the following. Launch your favorite text editor and open the file
~/.kde/config/kio_httprc
Just add two lines to the file. Here is an example. I wanted Konqueror to identify as an iPhone for m.podcast.de. The original iPhone has the following user-agent string:
Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/1A543a Safari/419.3
So I added the following two lines to the file
[m.podcast.de]
Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/1A543a Safari/419.3
That’s all. Save the file. Relaunch Konqueror and you are done!
