To set a custom user agent with cURL, you can use the -H
or --header
option followed by the User-Agent
header value.
Here is an example command:
curl -H "User-Agent: Your_Custom_User_Agent" https://example.com/
Replace Your_Custom_User_Agent
with the desired user agent string.
Additionally, you can create a user agent file, for example useragent.txt
, that contains the desired user agent string. Then, you can use the --user-agent
or -A
option to specify the file as the source of the user agent:
curl -A "$(cat useragent.txt)" https://example.com/
This approach allows you to easily switch between different user agents by modifying the contents of the useragent.txt
file.
