hmm, the second pair of brackets is not going to be a problem for some
websites?
I guess we should change our to
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.1; KHTML, like Gecko; Linux)
But thats not really compatible to your format. Something like
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.1; Linux) (KHTML, like Gecko)
would match it more. Is there any spec on UserAgent string formatting?
Though this clashes with websites that treat "compatible" as MSIE, and
expect "Gecko" after the closing brackets to detect it as Gecko. Of course
this might be as well the golden way to get the best variant from all kinds
or webpages, or it might cause use to get the worst variant. grmbl.
maybe
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; U; Linux; en-us) KHTML/3.1 like Gecko
?
BTW, do you happen to know the meaning of the "U;" ? :-)
