              It is not possible to configure the User-Agent for iPhone WebKit. Further, the Android client behaves similarly for some requests:

              User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/UNAVAILABLE (java 1.4)

              The strategy used to solve this is to cache the first valid User-Agent in the session: both iPhone and Android clients are observed to use detailed User-Agent headers on their initial requests. Once a User-Agent containing "Mozilla" has been encountered, it will be used for all subsequent detection.
