Can the server variable 'user agent' be modified/spoofed by the user?
I have a bunch movies that I want to only open if the user agent contains Quicktime Player...
In my case, if the user agent string contains Quicktime Player, a movie url is written for Quicktime to open....
If the user agent contains a browser, I want php to deny access....not write the url for Quicktime to read
is is possible for a script kiddie to spoof user agent server variables to fool the server ?
many thanks :)
