The User-Agent header tells you which client is connecting.  It doesn't
tell you anything about the client's capabilities.  That's what BH4J
accomplishes.  BH4J has a database of the many thousands of User-Agent's
out there and knows what all of them can and can't do.  The upcoming
version will tell you if cookies are on or off, if Java and JavaScript
are on or off, the size of the client window, and even the client's
connection speed!
