[Zope] IE 5x lies about itself

[David Bear]

I've been trying to conceptualize how I could select content
FORMATTING based on the browser that connects.  My thought was to use
the request.HTTP_USER_AGENT and see about parsing and selecting there.

The ugly thing is that IE starts out saying its mozilla.  here's the
results of various UA strings.


IE 5.5
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0; T312461) 

IE 6.0
Mozilla/4.0 (copmatible; MSIE 6.0, Windows NT 5.0)

Netscape 4.7
Mozilla/4.79 [en] (Windows NT 5.0; U) 

Real Mozilla
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020721 

So, has anyone implemented a browser switch method thats easily
understood?  I'd like to select a different template based on the
browser.  Ergo, server side control instead of sending a load of
javascript.. (I know, browsers can lie)
