How do you parse your user agent strings? I'm looking to get:
- Browser
- Browser Version
- OS
- OS Version
from a user agent string. My app is written in perl and was previously using HTTP::BrowserDetect. It's a bit dated and is no longer maintained. (Edit: it's since been updated.) I'm in no way tied to using perl for the actual lookup.
I've come to the conclusion that automagic parsing is a lost cause. I was thinking of writing a crud type app to show me a list of unclassified UA's and manually keep them up to date.
Does such an resource already exist that I can tap into? It would be awesome if I could make an HTTP call to look up the user agent info.
Thanks!
