What does Useragent default to if you dont specify it in your script?
And what is the use of using it in a script? I assume its just a method to mask the smart client from bot watch?

mozilla firefox

Useragent is the bit that tells a remote host what you are (i.e. OS, browser, render engine)

e.g. mine is

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:36.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/36.0

Ye figured as much, was just wondering why you would bother adding it if the client was going to default something properly like Mozilla :)

The default Useragent when loading SMART in AeroLib is "'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0'", as I read that was the commonly used agent. However you can change this before calling "initAL()" and SMART will be loaded with your custom useragent.

Can compile smart with specific user agents being one of many modifications possible
