Summary: HTTP Capture : No primary URI / Timer set with some browser

Initial Comment:
Environnment : Windows XP SP2
Internet Explorer : 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.0530301-1526
Patchs : SP1; Q867801; Q903235

Capture mode : Gateway (Local) / No proxy used / Page
timers is on

1) Script Record via Script Modeler->Capture->Record

2) In the HTP result file, there is no URI with the
PRIMARY keyword and timers 

If I do the same actions by using Internet Explorer 5.5
or Firefox 1.5.0.4, no problem. I can obtain PRIMARY
URI et timers.

After investigating the problem,  I realize that
browsers send different HTTP headers request and that
the value of field "Accept" in HTTP header seems to be
very important for HTTP recorder module in order to
choose PRIMARY URI.

With IE 6.0, the value of ACCEPT is always the
following ("*/*") for all kinds of URI (primary
[servlet], normal [images]) and so, the recorder can't
find the PRIMARY URI and position the TIMERS.

Moreover, when you use the "BView" add-on  to replay
the capture, no screen is displayed 

Is is possible for recorder module (and probably
"BWiew" add-on) to use another HTTP header field to
determine PRIMARY URI ("Referer" could be a good
candidate) without depending on "Accept" field whom
value depends on your favourite browser ?
