Re: [users@httpd] Whither HTTP_USER_AGENT?

[Aman Raheja <araheja@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I use CGI/PERL and print it, I get

-- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) 
Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4 --

Very much there.
Looks like somthing in particular to do with your SSI scripts.
