Question

Adidas splash page rejects most user agent's.

Opened this issue 7 years ago · 6 comments

If you take a screenshot after a task has started and put in the actual splash page, many of them give an error saying that the current browser is "not currently supported" and to "update to a modern browser". This is due to the user agents being outdated.

Here are some example user agents that I've tested.

Also do not use any mobile device user agents. It adidas refuses connection when it attempts to redirect to m.adidas.com

Hey Conrad!

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I'm going to collect some modern user-agents and confirm they are working.

Do you think it would be a better idea to have a single user-agent rather than randomizing the header on each driver? I'm thinking it might be better to just assign "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2228.0 Safari/537.36" as the header for each driver.

Best,
Christopher

If you are using proxies I don't see the harm in using the same user agent. I guess its not a bad thing, I just don't think its completely necessary.

This may not be the proper place to ask this... but how would I go about using your bot?

You can use the python module https://pypi.org/project/fake-useragent/ to have a humongous database of User agents to use
