Hello,
I'm searching for a filter to spoof the resolution of my OS.

I searched, but I only found a topic, where was written that it is possible to do this, by changing the values of cookies. In the forum they used LIVE http headers addon for firefox, but there was nothing more explained.

I tried it to find the correct part of the request in LIVE http headers addon, but I didn't found the solution.

Probably anyone know such a filter or probably anyone could give me some help.

Would be really nice if I could spoof my resolution with proxomitron.

Thanks.

Sure, if the webpage put this info in a header.

It was the case that not all browsers allowed modification of the following. For those that did Paul Rupe used javascript to

Code:
// Set various none-of-your-damn-business screen metrics to random numbers.
if (!isInternetExplorerPROX)
{
  screen.availHeight = 10000.0 * Math.random();
  screen.availWidth = 10000.0 * Math.random();
  screen.outerHeight = 10000.0 * Math.random();
  screen.outerWidth = 10000.0 * Math.random();
  screen.colorDepth = 10000.0 * Math.random();
  screen.height = 10000.0 * Math.random();
  screen.width = 10000.0 * Math.random();
  screen.pixelDepth = 10000.0 * Math.random();

  window.screen.availHeight = 10000.0 * Math.random();
  window.screen.availWidth = 10000.0 * Math.random();
  window.screen.outerHeight = 10000.0 * Math.random();
  window.screen.outerWidth = 10000.0 * Math.random();
  window.screen.colorDepth = 10000.0 * Math.random();
  window.screen.height = 10000.0 * Math.random();
  window.screen.width = 10000.0 * Math.random();
  window.screen.pixelDepth = 10000.0 * Math.random();
}

Not too useful, but I'd like to see the look on some webmaster's face when visitors with a 3440.3515732291635 by 2215.6437879573964 screen and 27124.546037171544 colors per pixel start showing up in his logs. Internet Explorer doesn't seem to like this--since these properties are supposed to be read-only, I guess that's understandable--so I've disabled that code for IE.

My knowledge of this is dated. I don't think I ever used it.
and it's also worth pointing out that while spoofing for the sake of anonymity may sound like a good thing, it actually more often than not has the exact OPPOSITE effect and makes you stand out like a sore thumb instead...
