 What about just a plain
 --user-agent=Mozilla/4.0?
 That and null are
 the only values I have hard wired into scripts where
 there were problems.
 
 With your current browser, you can go to
     http://www.askapache.com/online-tools/whoami/
 to find out your current headers.

No. The plain one does not work. Only the long user agent above, 
not using --user-agent..., 
or
--user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0"

work with wget here. Those 2 are seen in that tool
for iE or Firefox browsers.
