This is what I get though:
HTTP ACCEPT:*/*
USER_AGENT:Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows CE; PPC; 240x320)

Http Accept is useless.  I guess I will just have to grep the USER_AGENT
for Windows CE, that is all we are dealing with right now, but it is not
what I was hoping for.  Oh well, I can at least get it too work.  I just
hope my client doesn't change devices any time soon :(.
