Information like "what JavaScript version this client supports" is
known by BrowserHawk through the use of a browser data file that can
be updated regularly for new browsers. They have a full list of
properties on their site.
Features like if Java is on or off does require the tool does some
interaction with the client. But I wouldn't call it "dumb"! If you
need to know whether Java is on or off, you can't know by sniffing
headers. They've sold this BrowserHawk tool in the ASP market for
years. They're now interested in supporting servlets/JSP. I say
that's a *very* good sign.
