It would be nice to have a script used to identify many types of browsers (plus what features they support). I developed one (at home) that pulls the value from REQUEST.HTTP_USER_AGENT and guesses which one made the request, and returns a special code (ex. 'MSIE', 'Mozilla', 'Konqueror') which you can use in a decision tree from there. Would it be useful for the REQUEST object to have an API for this? Perhaps I'll play around a bit with it. Trouble is, like currancy converters, how do we keep the list up-to-date? An XML-RPC call? For features like Midas...good question. Not being real familiar with it, how do you invocate it in a page? It might not be possible to detect until it is released in the core with say, Mozilla 1.5, and you can know by the version number (unless it's disabled!)

I'm trying to detect (server side) Mozilla+Midas compatible browsers. Since this feature (Midas) is new, finding "Gecko" in the user agent signature doesn't seem to be enough.
Any clue ? Does it need a Javascript helper ?
Thanks in advance
