Please see number (8) in the "Directions" section.
This is where I describe how to install and configure
UAS.
UAS only handles User-Agent headers but the
"about:config" edits I describe also scrub
Referer(Referrer), Compression and Keep-Alive.
I like using the Privoxy configuration and the FF
hacks I describe as they are redundant in regards to
HTTP filtering; incase one misses something the other
may scrub it.
I think this method needs further testing as I
'developed' this method on 05-21-06. As far as I've
found it works as stated: HTTP and HTTPS headers are
filtered using the same anonymity set.

Other possibilites to increase anonymity and anonymity
set:
*Please let me know your opinion*
1. -Accept-Languages-
I am going to update my thread with this to match the
lang in "User-Agent". I will use English
non-localized.
"intl.accept_languages" = {en}
2. -Accept-Default-
<http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.http.accept.default>
It seems wise to use a 'stantard' and 'universal'
setting to increase the anonymity set. Here I am
trying to use an all-purpose setting that eveyone can
use regardless of local(and possible language) which
accounts for all possbile scenarios.
Note: The following line should not be wrapped:
-
text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,
text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,image/jpeg,
image/gif;q=0.2,*/*;q=0.1
-
3. -Accept-Charsets-
Again, it seems wise to use a 'stantard' and
'universal' setting to increase the anonymity set.
Here I am trying to use an all-purpose setting that
eveyone can use regardless of local(and possible
language) which accounts for all possbile scenarios.
"intl.accept_charsets" = {ISO-8859-1,*}
{ISO-8859-1,*} means universal Charset (non-regional,
non-localized) and all others.
