Agent Identity: Browsers and other Internet client programs can broadcast their identity when making requests for files. Although it's considered good netiquette to broadcast your true identity, sometimes a remote server will look at the agent identity to determine what type of data to send it or whether to send it data at all. For example, some websites will not send frame links to older Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers, which were not capable of reading frame links. Although Tube Explorer defaults to broadcasting its true identity, you may wish to change its identity if a site appears to be unresponsive to Tube Explorer, yet works with your browser.

• Anonymous broadcasts no identity at all.
• Tube Explorer broadcasts the string "Tube Explorer".
