UA.ini not working

[mainone]

Hello,
since web.whatsapp.com wont let me use it with the default Iron useragent I tried to change it permanently creating a file called UA.ini in the Iron root directory which is "C:\Program Files (x86)\SRWare Iron" (non portable) in my case.

The content of the UA.ini:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2228.0 Safari/537.36

Restarting Iron and visiting whoer.net however stil displays the default user agent:

Code: Select all

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2200.0 Iron/41.0.2200.0 Safari/537.36

Did I miss something?

Mine looks like this. It could be an issue with 41x build; I had issues with Flash so had to go back to 40x build.

Code: Select all

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/40.0.2150.0 Iron/40.0.2150.0 Safari/537.36

Hmm I dont know. I can test some older builds for the UA.ini feature but for this one it surely doesnt work.

UA.ini feature is currently not active, sorry. You can use --user-agent=

How do I use this "--user-agent=" ?

hi there.. i manage to use iron for whatsapp web using --user-agent parameter..
on my case, i use app shorcut, make a shortcut on desktop, put this on target box:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\SRWare Iron\chrome.exe" --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2228.0 Safari/537.36"  --app=https://web.whatsapp.com/

note that the path is for default installation for iron.

or you can browse to https://web.whatsapp.com/ (ignore the suggestion to use other browser) and make an application shortcut (setting-more tools-create application shortcut-put on desktop), and then edit the shortcut by adding the --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2228.0 Safari/537.36" part. and open whatsapp web via that shortcut.

alternatively if you dont want the application mode, you can add the user-agent parameter on Iron Browser shortcut itself.

Hope this help.
