Re: Strangeness with request.getHeader("User-Agent")

[horwat]

When you nest quotes you have to escape them:

value="<%= request.getHeader(\"User-Agent\") %>"

or use a different quote type:

value="<%= request.getHeader('User-Agent') %>"

or use the following markup:

value="<%= request.getHeader(&quot;User-Agent&quot;) %>"
