Answer 1

You can also use

System.setProperty("http.agent", "Chrome");

it worked for me.

//Update

Explanation

Because HttpURLConnection reads the property "http.agent" if set. You can read it here: https://www.innovation.ch/java/HTTPClient/advanced_info.html

Or you can look it up in the source code of the HttpURLConnection Class:

String agent = java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(new sun.security.action.GetPropertyAction("http.agent"));
