User Agent

Vimprobable's default user agent string is

Vimprobable(2)?/[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9]

Unfortunately, there are still websites using whitelists of known user agent strings to detemine browser capabilities (as if it was still 1998). These sites will usually not be happy with Vimprobable. You can change the user agent string in config.h or using the set comment (Vimprobable2):

:set useragent=...

Why not a Mozilla style User Agent?

This "industry standard" consists of system information like the user's operating system, exact version of the rendering engine and so on. Since we only distribute portable source code, we cannot know what these values will be for everyone. For your own custom version, you can of course define such a string yourself.
