Seriously, why is this flamebait. I suggested this in another thread a
couple of days ago. Is there a problem I'm not aware of with server-side
sniffing?
Any user agent sniffing (client- or server-side) has two main issues:
- to be pedantic, it goes against the idea of a single document/style
sent to any user agent;
- more fundamentally: if you start doing user agent sniffing, you end up
in a potential maintenance spiral where you have to update your script
(client/server, no difference) to cover any new version of browsers that
come out.
