Behaviour like a internet browser

midv · 01-08-2011, 12:41 PM

Hi guys,

does anybody know what to set up that Calibre would behave like an internet browser when it download some content from internet?
I would be very grateful for this functionality like in wget: wget -U browser-name.
Thanks for answers.

Best regards

It identifies itself as Firefox 3.6. The only way to change this is to modify the source.

I'm curious, why do you care?

To kovidgoyal: I've bought a VPS and I download some RSS feeds/articles with Calibre once a day before I wake up and send them to my Kindle. And now the reason: I'm from small country in central Europe, the VPS in the USA, and I downloaded it, of course, without advertisements from my country newspaper's servers, not like a common visitor of those websites.
Maybe I'm paranoic, but it's better that prohibited IP address of some IDS or something like that. When Calibre identifies itself like a common browser it's impossible to identify it

Of course, I use wait intervals and the script goes every day in another time.
I hope you understand me

BTW: Calibre is cool, I'll donate it
