Connector, setRequestProperty, MIDP 1.0

[Sebastian Green]

Hi Im using this code for making a connection to the net. But my question is, whats is the "User-Agent"-key? And can I get that value (User-Agent)dynamicly?

try{
  httpConnection = (HttpConnection) Connector.open( url );
  httpConnection.setRequestProperty("User-Agent","Profile/MIDP-1.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.0");
  httpConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Language", "en-US");
}

If the user agent is the same as the host device(?), you can make a call to

System.getProperty("microedition.platform");

I believe the other cross-platform calls are "microedition.encoding" for character encoding, "microedition.configuration" for the support CDC/CLCD and "microedition.profiles" for the supported MIDP. There may be others, but those are the ones I know of that are of use in getting information about the device the midlet is running on.

I supose it works cause Im getting no errors and exceptions and Im having no problems to get the data. Instead of "User-Agent" "j2me" when I use WTK 1.0.4 Thanks but Im not shure what setRequestProperty(), Im using it two times, wouldnt that mean that the "User-Agent" would be overwritten when I use it the seconds time?

It wont be overwritten because I name two diffrent keys. On ther other hand if the key was the same it would be assigned a new value. Right?
