What I resorted to doing is sending different User-Agent headers depending upon the circumstances. If I want tables, Some sites *require* that I say I'm Netscape. On the other hand, over a slow link, I can say I'm Lynx and get pages with fewer images. I would encourage folks NOT to use the User-Agent header as a feature selection mechanism, but use the Accept headers instead. Stephen Uhler stephen.uhler@sun.com
