Outlook-Express/7.0 (MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; OfficeLiveConnector.1.3; OfficeLivePatch.0.0; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30618; TmstmpExt)

This thing took 3,200+ files, asp only, no CSS, JS or any other files, in about three hours. It can't possibly be a human, can it? I cannot figure out why it didn't trip any alarms. I guess I've got a bug to look for.

Yeah. They stripped out Mozilla/5.0 and replaced it with
Outlook-Express/7.0. The rest of the UA seems to be normally formed. I guess I'm gonna have to fire-up Outlook Express and see if I can reproduce the UA. I've never actually used Outlook Express cause I use regular Outlook.

Its a bot. If someone was browsing using Outlook Express it would have Mozilla not outlook-express to start off the User-Agent.

OE is not a browser (unless the latest version serves in that capacity which I kind of doubt).

I've been using OE since 1996, however retain use of Ver 6.0.

When a user clicks on a link, the default browser opens, whether IE or whatever the system may be using.

Once again it's Owen FTW! Thanks my friend.

Thank you too, Don. You've spared me from having to use OE. ;)
