Werner,

I'm not sure I understand your question, but yes, as you know, I'm
willing to contribute anything I can.
Currently the API 'only' responds to a resolve request : you send a
correctly formatted request (GET) with a user-agent string (in the
header) to resolve and the server responds with the full set of
Property/Value keys, currently in JSON -- a more complex version using
'complex' objects (an extension of W3C's PropertyValue object) and
proto-buf also exists.
Also, when you say "partial C# version" which elements do you think
are missing in the C# 'port' ? I have a fully function .Net version
albeit somewhat different in that it does not 'natively' use XML but
can 'connect' to various data sources, so maybe the missing parts can
be taken from there.
As you know I've been at this 'device/useragent-thing' for some time
and I think I have a lot if not most of the functionality desired for
DeviceMap and it's many possible implementations, at some stage of
completion hanging around here in some .Net project.

On a different note : I'm still looking for a quotable source, but I
'heard' that one of the techniques used to identify fake facebook and
other social media accounts is, among others, to look at the devices
and user-agents used in the requests, a technique that, seeing the API
logs etc here, makes perfect sense to me.
It is the areas I think DeviceMap should also high-light : it is not
'just' device-detection to do some content formatting and routing,
device-detection/useragent 'management' is a vital metric in various
aspects of a site or service's performance.

Regards,

esjr
