We need the User-Agent header for a number of reasons - most particularly
for remaining backwards-compatible with older clients as the technology
continues to develop. I don't believe that Mosaic currently sends it, and I
know that violaWWW does. What about the other clients? Is there any will out
there to add this anytime soon?

For more info about User-Agent, see

By the way, 'Referer:' would be nice too.

Thanks
chris
