in reply to Translating the the useragent field of weblogs

You do realize that the string is arbitrary, and some browsers (such as iCab) even give the user a place to type in the arbitrary string?

I also specifically spoofed having an advanced version of mozilla running on a Sony Playstation just to mess up results like the one you're about to try.

I suppose you could get some general data, but what is it you're specifically curious about?

Ahh yes, and my obligatory "don't reinvent the wheel" comment: don't reinvent HTTP::BrowserDetect. If that doesn't do what you want, please send patches to the author.
