Re: [webkit-dev] identifying a unique iPhone?
Hi Mahesh, I'm wondering what problem you're trying to solve that cookies don't solve. BTW, I added Webkitsdk-dev to this email since I think that's the more appropriate place to discuss this. I'm leaving Webkit-dev@ on here too since I don't know who the original poster was. Replies should probably remove the webkit-dev@ email address. One other thought too. My understanding is that iPhone currently lacks complete support for 509certificates and the like. Once support for that exists (and I'm just assuming it will some day) that would be the other way to uniquely identify a phone that would not involve invading the device user's privacy (since its based on shared trust).

Hi, We can use userAgent string in HTTP request to identify. Thought it might not be there already, but iPhone browser people can think of sending string "iPhone" and IMEI number in UserAgent string. Not only in scott case, this will be helpful to identify specific iPhone for one time download contents or online gaming in future.

Re: [webkit-dev] identifying a unique iPhone?
Errr, you can get and use a cookie. That's why cookies exist. I very much doubt that there's an ability to uniquely identify a specific iPhone without a cookie anymore than you can uniquely identify any other computer/web browser --Oliver On 17/08/2007, at 12:07 PM, Scott wrote: Hopefully this is the proper list to post to: I am writing an iPhone web application, and know how to tell that I am talking to an iPhone, but is there a way to uniquely identify a specific iPhone?

Re: [webkit-dev] identifying a unique iPhone?
Anything other than a cookie would be a privacy risk. So there is no other way. This list is also not the best place to ask iPhone specific questions like this. (Though I don't have another list to recommend.)

Hopefully this is the proper list to post to: I am writing an iPhone web application, and know how to tell that I am talking to an iPhone, but is there a way to uniquely identify a specific iPhone? For example, some header or something I can get with either server side or browser side code and store on the server side so in the future I know which iPhone this is?
