[Zope] Finding out what Operating System a site visitor is using

Wed, 12 Sep 2001 19:46:28 -0500

Greg,

When I try this code it doesn't display anything. On the plus side this
doesn't crash with a key error. Below I've included a portion of my REQUEST
object for the page. As you can see it includes a value for OS but, when I
try to access it I get a keyerror.

<dtml-var "REQUEST['HTTP_UA_OS']"> works for me.

Sticking <dtml-var REQUEST> into a DTML Method does a nice job of
displaying the data available to you. I put a viewRequest method
containing that tag in my root and reference it frequently.
