System.setProperty("http.agent"..) appends Java/1.6

807589Oct 24 2008 — edited Oct 24 2008
In my JAVA program I set the user agent with
System.setProperty("http.agent", "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)");

But I see from packet sniffing that JAVA appends " Java/1.6" to the user agent that I'm trying to set.

This causes a web page that I am trying to read to stop responding.

Does anyone know how to get around this?

thanks,
William
