> Actually it's not an UA issue. It's easy to test with curl or wget that the UA reported by ephy is perfectly fine. The problem (at least for me in the www.sjscycles.co.uk site) is that we're sending a Cookie with invalid characters for the IIS server. I'll take a look.

So yeah, it turned out that I have some .co.uk cookies in the ephy cookie jar that were confusing the server. After I removed them everything worked fine. So here the real bug is IMO that we are storing "supercookies" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie#Supercookie.
