Description

In order to provide support for various browser specific problems, we should have access to things like headers or user agents. My primary concern is getting the user-agent in the RSS feeds to change the content-type that is served. Firefox does not recognize application/rss+xml as a valid displayable type, so it tries to open the url. The problem is described here:

At minimum, I believe the user-agent in the context will get me where I need to go. But more information may be useful to others.
