NSURLRequest, forwarding replaces settings in initial request

Hi,

to retrieve information from a homepage that only responds to selected clients with usable content, and empty strings to anyone else, I am using an NSMutableURLRequest with some faked user agent value. This worked fine until recently and I am not sure what exactly changed but here is what happens that I suspect causes the error.

The request is sent to the server of concern with my http header field pretending for the client to be Safari. The first request still has the entire header populated with the information I provide, then a response with the forwarding address from the server causes another GET to be triggered and a couple more then, but that second and all subsequent GETs contain as a user agent CFNetwork, not the Safari string I initially provide to my NSMutableURLRequest The cache policy is set to NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringCacheData.

How do I force for the initially set user-agent value to be used throughout all forwardings?

Thanks for any help.
Alex
