Bug ID: 63111 Summary: Modern Fedora distros can not be assessed from user agent string for SquidReportOperatingSystems.htm Product: Analytics Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: Unprioritized Component: Wikistats Assignee: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: ezac...@wikimedia.org CC: christ...@quelltextlich.at, ezac...@wikimedia.org, tneg...@wikimedia.org Web browser: --- Mobile Platform: --- reported by R.Luik: "How do you even detect Fedora to say it has 8.4 M requests to your servers here when no browser on Fedora includes something that could identify Fedora in their user agent? E.g. Midori UA-String in Fedora 20 is: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux) AppleWebKit/538.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/18.0.1025.133 Safari/538.1 Midori/0.5 Firefox's one is: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0" my reply "Here are two UA strings with Fedora in it that occurred most on one recent day: 70 (x 1000) times: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.9) Gecko Fedora/1.9.2.9-1.el5 en-us;en;q=0.5 - 26 (x 1000) times: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; es-AR; rv:1.9.2.23) Gecko/20110930 Fedora/3.6.23-1.fc14 Firefox/3.6.23 es-ar;es;q=0.8;en-us;q=0.5;en;q=0.3 -" R. Luik: "Well those look like ancient versions of Firefox 3.6. If you aren't counting the newer releases (which seems impossible by the UA-Strings I sent you) the Linux stats breakdown is pointless. :/ Mozilla seems to have removed the info from the UA-String in newer versions, (and Ubuntu for example seems to re-pack Firefox to add "Ubuntu" back to it) so e.g. you end up reporting Ubuntu as having more popularity when in reality the detection process is flawed for other distro(s)." -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
