User-customize USER-AGENT field

Hello.

For downloading from narod.ru you need write text from captcha. But if your USER-Agent of client is like

Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; MEGAUPLOAD 1.0; YB/3.5.4.0)

you do not need recognize captcha text. It is if you have Yandex (eq Narod) Bar for your http-browser.

link for example: [narod.ru]

Enjoy.

it's already possible.
@see method.setRequestHeader()

-------------------------------------

ok, but i'm not a author :)

two options user-agent: global for all share-services (and setted manually), and local for each.

It won't be possible, because all plugins are tested with this UA. We cannot test it with all possible headers.

-------------------------------------

ok, one global options.
if it filled by user - he problems.
if not filled - inner value from you, unchanged by user.

?

>> if it filled by user - he problems.
Most of users don't know what UA is. We don't want to include something complicated into UI.
The thing which you want is very rare and special. This should be handled by plugin itself.

-------------------------------------

ok, i understand.

but, may be: in FRD root dir user can create file raresettings with rare options.

as is, it file not exist.

?

may be: in FRD root dir user can create file raresettings with rare options. => requires coding => requires necessary time for other more important features

-------------------------------------

hide advanced options by requiring user to hold down a modifier key while opening options menu ;)

do not document advanced menu

only when feature requested PM user instructions ;)

So is there any progress with this issue?
Unfortunately I had to use "universal share downloader" only for this option.(Narod.ru is quite popular in Russia.) There is an option for user-agent string in USD's settings.
But I like FRD more and want to use it with narod.ru as good as with other sharing services.
Please create this global option or ask narod.ru plugin author to implement this option.
Thanks a lot!
