HTTP::Browscap Description

HTTP::Browscap is a Perl module that can parse and search browscap.ini files. HTTP::Browscap is a Perl module that can parse and search browscap.ini files.SYNOPSIS use HTTP::Browscap; my $capable = browscap(); if( $capable->{wap} ) { output_WAP(); } if( $capable->{css} > 1 ) { # Browser can handle CSS2 } # OO interface my $BC = HTTP::Browscap->new( 'browscap.ini' ); $capable = $BC->match( $ENV{HTTP_USER_AGENT} );ABSTRACTBrowscap.ini is a file, introduced with Microsoft's IIS, that lists the User-Agent strings that different browsers send, and various capabilities of those browsers. This module parses browscap.ini and allows you to find the capability definitions for a given browser.Starting with Microsoft's IIS, a browscap.ini file was used to list the capabilities of various browsers. Using the User-Agent string that a browser sends in the HTTP request, the capabilities of a browser are retrieved. If an exact match of the User-Agent string isn't found, wild-card expantion is done. If all fails, a default browser definition is used.There are limits the usefulness of browscap.ini. It only detects if a browser has a certain capability, but not if this capability has been deactivated or if it's a buggy implementation. In particular, most CSS and JavaScript implementations will make you scream. Requirements: · Perl
