Web browser's identify themselves by including the 'User-Agent' header in
their request. You can use TIdHTTP's Request.UserAgent property to mimic
the ID of any web browser. Programs like GetRight do this, for instance.
Some web servers provide browser-specific content, so they look for the
'User-Agent' header.
