user agent string

[agerome-tes]

Hi Hadley,

I was just wondering about which user agent string the html function passes to the scrapped website. Is there a way to set the user agent string to look like a real browser?

Thanks,

Alban

It just uses the httr default. If you want to override any of that, construct the request with httr, then pass the result to rvest::html().
