<H3><A NAME="s6">6. KFM Web Browser Configuration: User Agent</A></H3>

<P>
<P>When requesting web pages, Web Browsers identify themselves to Web Servers by 
reporting
their name and version as a  <B>User-Agent String</B>.
The default User-Agent string for KFM is set to <B>Konqueror</B>
plus version information.
<P>
<P>You can also configure the KFM Browser to report a different User-Agent String
to specific web sites,  while reporting the default string to other
sites. 
The usefulness of this is that web servers may decide
on what form to send the information (e.g., frames or
no frames) depending on which browser application it
thinks it is talking to.  
<P>The KFM Browser (Konqueror) is perfectly capable of handling frames,
but may not be recognized by a web site that only sends frames
to web browsers it thinks can handle them.  In such a case,
you can configure KFM/Konqueror
to send a different  <B>User-Agent String</B>;
for example, you might decide
to tell that site that your browser is
<B>Netscape Navigator</B> (tm), 
(user-agent string = ``<CODE>Mozilla</CODE>'' plus version information)
or <B>Internet Explorer</B>(tm).
<P>To create a binding between a User-Agent String and a web site:
<UL>
<LI> enter the address of the website in the box labelled 
``<B>On server:</B>''</LI>
<LI> enter the desired User-Agent String in the box labelled
``<B>login as:</B>''</LI>
<LI> Click on the <B>Add</B> button.</LI>
</UL>
<P>To remove such a binding, click on its entry in the list of 
<B>Known bindings</B> to highlight it, then 
click on the <B>Delete</B> button.
<P>To activate your changes, click on <B>Apply</B> or
<B>OK</B>.  To exit without applying the changes, click on
<B>Cancel</B>.
