Let's say a page is cloaked and I get a different content than what SE get. How can I submit (on Win 2000 ) an HTTP request, so as I pretend that I really am the Google bot? In other words, (1) how should such a request look like, (2) what to do to send HTTP requests without the use of agents like IE? Thanks, Pawel
Get a telnet client and connect to the port 80 on that host. Once the connection is established type: GET /filename HTTP/1.1 Host: hostname User-Agent: agent Whatever: whatever
then hit enter twices and read the response.

My site has a tool which allows you to retrieve the raw HTTP data from a site. You can also set the User-Agent string. Go to the site in my profile and select "HTTP Viewer".
Note that most professional cloaking is done using IP detection, not User-Agent detection, so you'll only catch out the amateurs.
