Unable to pass user-agent #14

How can we pass a user-agent to be something other than the default within python?

hwkns commented 7 years ago

During IMDb scraping? Or torrent uploading? And just out of curiosity, why?

b0xy commented 7 years ago

for torrent uploading. i made a script for another tracker which uses recaptcha and the script is triggering a login prompt due to user-agent. (that or it's ignoring the session cookies i've loaded.)

site staff recommended changing the user-agent to rule out the captcha issue.
