Title
Body
When I run this command: wget --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.8; rv:21.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/21.0" http://yahoo.com ...I get this result (with nothing else in the file): <!-- hw147.fp.gq1.yahoo.com uncompressed/chunked Wed Jun 19 03:42:44 UTC 2013 --> But when I run wget http://yahoo.com with no --user-agent option, I get the full page. The user agent is the same header that my current browser sends. Why does this happen? Is there a way to make sure the user agent doesn't get blocked when using wget?
