this is a tough one, but there's got to be a way to do it. my program accesses urls, but when it tries google, google says
NO! I'M GIVING YOU A 403!
because google doesn't like automated searches, it only wants browsers to visit google, not java programs.
the way it does this most likely is with the php variable $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']
it tests for the browser type, and if its not one of the major browsers, it returns a 403.
i need my java program to know when it is given this request, and i need to learn how to send back any string i want, because then i can tell google that java is firefox, when its not.
sorry about the spacing, it gave me an error telling me not to use abbreviations

I believe that HttpClient would have also allowed you to do this.
