Summary Web Inspector: uses a different User-Agent string than the "inspected" window

When the inspector is enabled, it tries to fetch .map files for compressed javascript files. When fetching, the User-Agent "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9) AppleWebKit/537.71 (KHTML, like Gecko)" is used, where the browser window itself uses "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9) AppleWebKit/537.71 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/7.0 Safari/537.71" In web applications with (very) strict security settings, a different User-Agent string can result in a logout. I've had this happening in a CakePHP application where User-Agent checking is a default security measure.
