Browser information

I am using Seaside 3.0 on VAST Smalltalk/Windows.

I need to be able to distinguish between a page being rendered on an iPad or on a standard browser. How do I get that sort of information?

As I am working on an internal network, knowing the IP address would be sufficient for my needs.

Thanks in advance.

David

Re: Browser information

Hi David,

This is info that is being sent along with the request headers.
In Seaside, you can access the WARequest instance with “self requestContext request”.

The info you are looking for is in the 'User-Agent’ header.
The source IP is in there as well, but I don’t know that header name by heart.

Hope this gets you on your way
Johan

The selector is #userAgent. If you're behind a reverse proxy the
headers are 'x-forwarded-for' or 'forwarded-for' depending on the
server.

Note the user agent string is horribly underspecified.
