Hi People.
I came across a question that was posted by Lawrence (Larry) page at the beginning of a dissertation that eventually became the 2nd Most valuable band in the world.
He was in the process of building a web crawler in the new programming language that came out a year earlier (Java) and he was having some issues with it.
I thought I should share the question. It should even be put in a coding museum. Don't you think?

"I have a web robot which is a Java app. I need to be able to set the
User-Agent field in the HTTP header in order to be a good net citizen (so
people know who is accessing their server). Anyone have any ideas?
Right now, Java sends a request that includes something like:
User-Agent: Java/1.0beta2
I'd rather not rewrite all the HTTP stuff myself. I tried just searching
in the JDK for the Java/1.0beta2 figuring I could just change the string,
but I couldn't find it. Perhaps it is stored as a unicode string?
An easy method of setting the User-Agent field should probably be added to
Java, so people can properly identify their programs.
Thanks, Larry Page

lol! If someone had told him he would become what he is now only a few decades later, I imagine he would have told the person he is nuts.

Thats why I dont believe in Forbes 30 under 30 crap. The guys that will define the future are currently living in oblivion.
