AGAIN, AGAIN, all colon options apply to the previous item. That's the whole point really. If you want to change the UA string globally, use the API (as stated in the wiki page of the old HTTP module, by the way). It doesn't make much sense to do that from CLI since it would affect literally every ...

Re: vlc custom user agent no longer working

manually hex-editing vlc.exe and replacing VLC/3.0.17.3 with"Mozilla/5.0." (same 12 characters) shows the user agent as entered.

this simply doesnt work when using the http-user-agent command, i surely cannot be the only one with this issue.
