There is a website that I need to use for my job that "requires"
that I connect to it using a Windows machine. There is actually
nothing special. It's just that their backend is checking the HTTP
headers and I'm pretty sure that using Linux would otherwise
be okay.

Could somebody clue me in on how I can forge my HTTP headers
to make the site think that I am connecting using a Windows box?

Thank you.

I think you want to change the user agent. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_agent
For firefox: http://chrispederick.com/work/useragentswitcher/
For koqueror: http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdebase/konqueror/useragent.html
