Mimic FireFox or Internet Explorer

Download: Chilkat .NET Assemblies

C# example showing how make it appear as though a request originated from FireFox or Internet Explorer.

Chilkat.Http http = new Chilkat.Http();
bool unlocked = http.UnlockComponent("Any string begins 30-day trial");
if (!unlocked)
{
    MessageBox.Show("Failed to unlock HTTP component");
    return;
}

// Chilkat HTTP .NET provides two properties to make it easy to mimic
// Mozilla FireFox or Internet Explorer: MimicFireFox and MimicIE.
// If one is set to true, then Chilkat HTTP will automatically set the 
// request headers to appropriate values such that from the HTTP server's
// perspective, it appears as though an interactive browser has accessed
// a page.  This feature only applies to requests made via the QuickGet
// and QuickGetStr methods.
http.MimicFireFox = true;

string htmlPage = http.QuickGetStr("http://www.apple.com/");

if (htmlPage == null)
{
    MessageBox.Show(http.LastErrorText);
}
else
{
    textBox1.Text = htmlPage;
}
