I'm sorry, but I can't reproduce this issue:
Calling "links2 -http.fake-user-agent UA http://wtfismyip.com/headers"
gives me as expected:
host: wtfismyip.com
user-agent: UA
accept: */*
accept-language: en,*;q=0.1
accept-encoding: gzip,deflate,bzip2,lzma,lzma2
accept-charset:
us-ascii,ISO-8859-1,ISO-8859-2,ISO-8859-3,ISO-8859-4,ISO-8859-5,ISO-8859-6,[...]
connection: keep-alive
Switching to HTTPS does not make a difference either. Same for links2
on Debian Stable.
> also the same when using fake.firefox 0/1
Never heard of that option/setting and it's neither in the man page,
nor in the --help output nor listed in ~/.links2/links.cfg nor can
such a binary setting be seen in the menu under Setup -> Network options
-> HTTP options -> Headers options.

Indeed, I now see the option in Sid. For my previous mail I checked
both, Jessie and Sid in parallel and looked up the man-page and -h
output on Jessie instead of Sid. Sorry for that mistake.
On Sid you can find it under Setup -> Network options -> HTTP options
-> Header options -> Fake Firefox

Thanks for these more detailed examples. That helped a lot to
understand where the issue is.
I can confirm that these combinations of options behave as if
-http.fake-firefox would have been set to 1.
Dropping the "-only-proxies 1" make the remainder work as expected.
Unfortunately I found no obvious reason in the source code why these
two options should be connected. Will forward the issue to upstream.

Nope. That has nothing to do with this issue.
