 User agent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One result of user agent spoofing is that the usage share of Internet Explorer, the user agent browsers typically spoof, is probably overestimated, and the usage share of all other browsers may be underestimated.
A user agent is the client application used with a particular network protocol; the phrase is most commonly used in reference to those which access the World Wide Web.
When Internet users visit a web site, a text string is generally sent to identify the user agent to the server.

 Software agent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The design of intelligent agents (or intelligent software agents) is a branch of artificial intelligence research.
Some software agents are claimed to be autonomous being self-contained and capable of making independent decisions and taking actions to satisfy internal goals based upon their perceived environment.
In computer science, a software agent is an abstraction, a mental model that describes software that acts for a user or other program in a relationship of agency

 User agent refs
A computed value is in principle ready to be used, but a user agent may not be able to make use of the value in a given environment.
User agents may choose to use the value of "leader-length.optimum" to determine where to break the line, then use the minimum and maximum values during line justification.
For example, a user agent may only be able to render borders with integer pixel widths and may, therefore, have to adjust the computed width to an integral number of media pixels.

 Sulla - A User Agent for the Web(1)
Maes' electronic mail agent [14] is an excellent example of a stationary, limited scope agent, operating only on the user's workstation and only upon the incoming mail queue for that single user.
An agent must be able to operate without the direct intervention of humans or others, and have some kind of control over their actions and internal state to facilitate its user [5].
A user agent for the web is used by one or more users to facilitate Web information search and retrieval.

 RFC 1524 (rfc1524) - A User Agent Configuration Mechanism For Multimedia M
Crucial to this scheme, however, is that all of the user agents agree on a common representation and source for the configuration file.
Location of Configuration Information Each user agent must clearly obtain the configuration information from a common location, if the same information is to be used to configure all user agents.
One approach to this transition is to modify diverse sets of mail reading user agents so that, when they need to display mail of an unfamiliar (non-text) type, they consult an external file for information on how to display that file.

 HTTP/1.1: Header Field Definitions
Quality factors allow the user or user agent to indicate the relative degree of preference for that media-range, using the qvalue scale from 0 to 1 (section 3.9).
Sometimes a user agent might want or need to insist that a cache revalidate its cache entry with the origin server (and not just with the next cache along the path to the origin server), or to reload its cache entry from the origin server.
However, unless the user agent is a closed system which cannot interact with other rendering agents, this default set ought to be configurable by the user.

Miscellaneous User Agents which don't deserve a category of their own, as well as user agents of unknown purpose.
Robots are a special kind of user agents which are, as opposed to web browsers, not directly human-controlled but rather autonomously acting programs which search the web for information.

 Dan's Web Tips: Brand-X Browsers -- User Agent Strings
Browsers are user agents, but so are some other things, such as indexing robots.
Other user agents include programs to download a site for offline browsing or to generate a map or outline of a site.
Some info on user agent strings (with some misguided comments; the author is critical of browsers whose UA strings don't include "Mozilla or MSIE compatibility numbers", apparently thinking that these strings ought to mimic other browsers instead of honestly identifying what the browser is.)

 A Single User's Agent
Each user's interface agent learns by continuously ``looking over the shoulder'' of the user as the user is performing actions.
For example, if an agent notices that a user almost always stores messages sent to the mailing-list ``genetic-algorithms'' in the folder AI Mailing Lists, then it can offer to automate this action next time a message sent to that mailing list is encountered.
The interface agent monitors the actions of the user over long periods of time, finds recurrent patterns and offers to automate them.

 IEBlog : User Agent String Documentation
I want to be clear that we do not advocate blocking access to content based on the User Agent string of the browser, as this practice results in users of unknown and newer versions of browsers being locked out.
One of the reasons why some sites are having problems with the new User Agent string is because of the version number.
It's probably also true that eliminating the user agent string would do nothing to prevent it any more than eliminating the user agent string would improve the quality of DHTML code in general.

If you do consistently change the User Agent though you may not be getting the best out of the browser since a page may sniff on the basis of the User Agent alone and assume your browser can't do what it actually can.
One of the reasons to change a Browser's user agent string is because some sites will not allow access to non-IE browsers even when a Gecko or KHTML based browser will read the content just fine.
