in reply to How can I get information about the user's browser?

The web browser will send info about itself in the User-Agent line. A browser might send you something like:
GET / HTTP/1.0 Connection: Keep-Alive User-Agent: Mozilla/4.72 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16 i686) Host: localhost:1101 Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, image/png +, */* Accept-Encoding: gzip Accept-Language: en Accept-Charset: iso-8859-1,*,utf-8
