43 Logically, the server gets a 'GET / HTTP/1.1' request from the client and
44 responds to it in the same way, irrespective of the client. If you are
45 running some clever authentication and javascript/php on the server, then the
46 request could be tested for the browser capabilities and serve different page
47 content accordingly.
48
49 Do you see a difference in the initial exchange of:
50
51 GET / HTTP/1.1 -->
52
53 HTTP/1.1 200 OK <--
54
55 when you use 'tcpflow -c -i eth0' between the two profiles?
56
57 Note if the browser starts an TLS negotiation then all the content will be
58 encrypted. Otherwise you should be able to see what attributes it sends to
59 the server, e.g.
60
61 Accept:
62 text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8
63
64 and what the server responds in each case.
