(yes, I understood:-)

sorry to bother all you with this question.. perhaps it's not directly related to curl, but I think if curl has to be an automated UA it should behave like a "normal" UA (like IE);
now, I have this proxy-firewall allowing IE but not curl to pass through, so I'm asking (also myself) which other parameter, apart from the UA string, could be necessary to set;

thank you again,
