[arachne] Browser User Agent

Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!

What options do we have to masquerade Arachne as Another Browser and Operating 
System? Is it easy to build in?

I ask because of this nonsense:

their feedback form:

In summary, the UK government is proposing to restrict access to its websites 
to "the most 
popular" browsers. In the way these things seem to work here, that is the thin 
end of a very 
fat wedge that will end with them mandating the use of A Certain Operating 
System and A 
Specified Web Browser. 

In the meantime, the ability to leave disparaging remarks in their website logs 
pretending to 
be the user agent might be a bit of fun!
