I think you need to clearly define what a legitimate browser is. In my  
opinion, the ambiguity in your question is the root cause of the  
disorganization in this particular thread. 
 
If you mean that you want to prevent a naive user from using software  
that is written by a malicious user, then current protocols and  
standards don't support what you want to do. "Where the rubber meets the  
road" is an HTTP transaction, and HTTP is a well-known protocol.
