Question Can a remote site detect webbrowser control?

[mahmood]

Hi

I have a webbrowser control on a form and try to navigate to one specific site. It seems to me that the remote detects that call is from a desktop program and redirect it. Is it possible? and if it is how I can hide it.

WebBrowser control shares the user-agent string with IE, so I don't see how the page could tell them apart. Fiddler show no significant difference in the request made from either.
