[Aimmath-developers] Browser detection

[Neil S. <N.P...@sh...>]

Hi All,

I don't have a copy of Greg's browser detection code, because I mangled
various
things trying to read my email while away from Sheffield; but I did read his
outline of how it works.

I think that the right mechanism for browser detection is for the servlet to
invoke request.getHeader("User-Agent") to return a string describing the
browser.
(See under the HttpServletRequest class at
http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/2.3/javadoc/index.html). I don't think
that
there is any reason to use hidden parameters or session management.
