What is user agent string for "Internet Download Manager"?

Would you please let me know that what is user agent string for "Internet Download Manager"? I want 开发者_如何学运维use it in .htaccess.


Just sniff it. With wireshark, for example. Or make apache to write User-Agent to log file.


Answer of mine to another question:

Blocking by user agent is not a good way to go since every decent download manager will send the request with a browser's user-agent header. For example, IDM 6.06 (current version) send the following user agent for chrome:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/534.24 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/11.0.696.57 Safari/534.24

Then again for IE it uses:

 Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E; InfoPath.3)

Guess what IE sends without IDM:

 Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E; InfoPath.3)

Reason is that IDM captures information using a network driver, so basically it 'steals' the request from your web browser and sends the exact information it sends.


From the description on the product's web site, my strong guess is that this program adopts whatever host browser it works with, so it's likely not to have a user agent string of its own.

To make sure, you could do a download using this program, and then look into your log files for the User Agent string.


I did a check for IDM 6.18 and I found its user-agent string to be: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/4.0)

Here's a snapshot to support the same.
