Default User Agent to get source code

Hi,
I found this code on this group forum.

but I have problem, I just do not want to pull source code.

I want to pull source code by setting User Agent.

Is there a way to get source code by changing User Agent to like iPhone or iPad?

Thanks

Sub Tester()
Range("B2").Value = GetSource("http://www.google.com")
End Sub


Function GetSource(sURL As String) As String

Dim oXHTTP As Object

Set oXHTTP = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
oXHTTP.Open "GET", sURL, False
oXHTTP.send
GetSource = oXHTTP.responsetext
Set oXHTTP = Nothing

End Function

You set the agent like this (before you open the connection):

oXHTTP.setRequestHeader("User-Agent", "[whatever]")

As for the specific strings to send, Google sez (watch the wordwrap)...

- iPhone 4: Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 4_0 like Mac OS X; en-us)
AppleWebKit/532.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.5 Mobile/8A293
Safari/6531.22.7

- iPhone 3: Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 3_0 like Mac OS X; en-us)
AppleWebKit/528.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile/7A341 Safari/528.16

- some older iPhone (possibly the original?): Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU
like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0
Mobile/1C25 Safari/419.3

- iPad: Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; U; CPU OS 3_2 like Mac OS X; en-us)
AppleWebKit/531.21.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Mobile/7B334b
Safari/531.21.10

More googling will almost certainly reveal more useragent strings, but this
should be (at the very least) a good start.
