[webkit-dev] Aligning User Agent Header changes
Hi, QtWebKit is considering dropping the language tag part of the User Agent string - following Firefox (http://hacks.mozilla.org/2010/09/final-user-agent-string-for-firefox-4/). I think the WebKit community did a reasonable job at aligning the User Agent string for WebKit based products and I was hoping that we could continue this good habit, so I was wondering what other ports/products would think of this change. If there is interest we could turn this thread into a wider discussion and consider other User Agent string changes (e.g. dropping U; for encryption); my immediate interest is only to deal with the language tag part.

Several of us on the Chromium side have mentioned this to each other. We're definitely interested in simplifying the UA string, especially if it can be done in concord with other browsers.

I'm not aware of specific reasons to keep the language (locale?) in user agent string. Seems worth trying to see if any sites break. - WBR, Alexey Proskuryakov ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
