PWB and GMail

[Scott]

Google is taking a proactive stance and blocking non-standard browsers when accessing GMail. Because of this we added a few settings to PWB starting with "3.05.8 CEF" that will allow PWB to access GMail.

The new settings are as follows:

[Browser]UserAgent= Sets Browser User Agent. Same as using --user-agent="" command line argument
[Security]CheckUserAgent=False Enable User Agent URL filter
[Files]UserAgentFilterFile= Filter URL to set User Agent

The User Agent filter is set up uses the same format as the URL filter except it uses a tab separated list similar to the following.

-all
"+url" "tab" "user agent string"

Code: Select all

-all

PWB 3.05.8 CEF now sets the filters by default. No need to add the filters unless needed.
