You can test for an explicit browser string but the code must be added to every virtual server run from Apache. You can't just add it to a configuration setting, it has to be in the page or application code. Also, if someone has a page under the actual index bookmarked, they can still bypass the detection string. I use that all the time to bypass detection and enforcement of IE only. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
