Class BrowserSniffer

java.lang.Object
  com.spinglobe.javasniff.BrowserSniffer

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class BrowserSniffer
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

A server side class which determines the client's web browser environment based on the user-agent field of the request object
Notes:

• Many browsers will try to impersonate other browsers, specifically MS IE since so many websites have been written poorly and only target IE, refusing to work with other browsers. While identifying as MS IE is not strictly true, it is needed, practical and accepted by this tool.
• UserAgents which do not correspond to implemented browser ids are classified as OTHER. They may be robots or low uptake browsers. Version information, platform, OS information will not be available
• Traditional Netscape (such as 4.0, 4.5 etc..) identifies as Mozilla. Netscape classification here refers only to the rebranded Mozilla open-source product via AOL etc...
