Hi AK,

what version of twill are you using for this?

A few suggestions:

 - use the 'agent' command to set the agent; I believe add_extra_header
   adds an extra header on top of the one already set by twill;

 - make sure that's a valid agent string.  I'm getting some weird parse
   errors on Linux when I try it out.

cheers,
