Question

I built a simpel indexer using CasperJS. I would like Google Analytics to ignore my agent, so all requests will not be part of every day statistic.

How should I set the Casper agent variable (header)?

Answer 1

Why don’t you just not execute the Google JS code? Just edit your hosts file:

ssl.google-analytics.com 127.0.0.1
www.google-analytics.com to 127.0.0.1

(on the machine the indexer will be running from)

Failing that, executing this code on page load should stop the request:

_gaq = [];
