> Maybe I am misunderstanding something, but we need the entire, unspoofed
user agent string. As far as I can tell, the only code that knows how to
construct such a string is here:
> https://searchfox.org/mozilla-
central/source/netwerk/protocol/http/nsHttpHandler.cpp#909
>
> Unfortunately, when `privacy.resistFingerprinting` is true, there is no
way for code outside of `nsHttpHandler.cpp` to access the string. One
possible solution would be to add a new attribute to
`nsIHttpProtocolHandler` such as `unspoofedUserAgent`.
Never mind; we were not thinking about the problem correctly and now
realize we can do things a different way.
