This code fetches the HTML source of http://www.foo-example-site.com/(index.html) 

$.ajax({ url: 'http://www.foo-example-site.com', success: function(data) {
    alert(data); 
    } 
});

However, the website changes the content of HTML source depending on User Agent.
If I want to switch User Agent to this below only when using ajax request, how can I fix my code?

No, this is part of the HTTP protocol. You can change it in the browser, but not in an AJAX call.

Thanks. Is there any trick to let user's browser to grab external HTML source with customized User Agent params?
You need to write a browser plug-in to do that.
It seems too much work:( what if I use PHP or RUBY? Is it feasible?
You can do that using CURL on the server, but not on the browser.
