Amiga Browser Identification

[Karlos]

Hi,

Off hand, does anybody know the user agent identification strings for existing amigaos browsers? I'd like to experiment with making some pages amiga friendly (et, delivering HTML only content to browsers with no CSS support).

I found some long lists on the web but not sure how up to date the amiga entries are.

You do indeed understand me correctly :-).

As it goes I was planning to do it server side (php) to remove any need for client side javascript. There, I can use the server global $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"], which should be the complete userAgent string (containg the browser application name, version information etc).

CSS isn't good for much anyway, you may as well just use HTML...

IMO, CSS is extremely useful where it is properly supported. Which unfortunately doesn't include any amiga browsers I am aware of.

@Doobrey,

I know just what you mean. I am extremely fussy about server side browser detection when I do have to use it. In this case, I am only looking for amiga browsers under the assumption they do not have CSS and do not fully implement the Javascript DOM in order to adapt the content without client redirection. Provided the userAgent string definately contains AWeb, Voyager, IBrowse etc these will be the only special cases.

PHP is good fun :-)

If it was useful, it would already be supported by Amiga browsers. Same with Java, ActiveX, XML, and other useless "technologies".

Of course that's the reason they don't support it. How silly of me to think otherwise...

I'll just strip our company's online administration software back to plain text with links. Greenscreen and monospaced, after all who needs anything more?

We have no need for remote server calls, self validating forms, context sensetive menus  etc, all of which are written within W3C guidelines for Javascript/DOM/CSS and require some of the things you list here.

Anyway, enough. I am not going to be drawn into a debate about the usefulness of any particular web technology.

All I want to do is to make pages on my own sites more amiga friendly by producing nice quirky "not quite standards compliant" over formatted HTML :-P

So, getting back to the topic. does anybody have an up to date list of amiga browser userAgent identification strings?
