Thanks!

I will have a look at it. It does not mention the IG_FetchContent() but the method seems a bit more mature.

Hi!

I am new to gadgets, so please point me to the right post if I have missed something obvious.

I am trying to retrieve remote content = a web page with current bus departures. For this, I use IG_FetchContent(). My problem is that the web server formats the content differently depending on the type of "browser" that contacts it. Different pages will be displayed for: -- very simple devices (pre xhtml phones) -- small phones supporting at least xhtml

I have no control over the server. I am assuming the web server is basing its output mode on header fields in the request.

When I use IG_FetchContent, I get output for pre-xhtml = content that is formated with whitespaces and quite difficult to parse. I would like to give a parameter to IG_FetchContent() so that it looks like it is "Mozilla" (or any other more mature browser) that fetch content because then I would get the second type of output, which is much easier to parse.

Can I give parameters to IG_FetchContent() to change the header values
