How to modify requests made to pages that I subscribe to?

Can i customise the User Agent headers? I want to leverage on socks5-https-client when performing the requests.

Thanks in advance.

This seemed like a good idea, so I quickly added a new config.json value that lets you set the User-Agent header.

It's documented here --

Let me know if it works.

Hi,

What should i change the User Agent headers to? It looks like socks5-https-client requires edit to the request headers.

var Agent = require('socks5-http-client/lib/Agent');

request({
	url: 'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOCKS',
	agentClass: Agent,
	agentOptions: {
		socksHost: 'my-tor-proxy-host', // Defaults to 'localhost'.
		socksPort: 9050 // Defaults to 1080.
	}
}, function(err, res) {
	console.log(err || res.body);
});

I think i'll have to npm install socks5 first, then pass the Agent into the request.
