Name
HttpBrowserCapabilities
Synopsis
This class allows you to take advantage of features enabled in the
client’s browser. It is automatically available through the
Browser property of the built-in Request object and corresponds roughly
to the MSWC.BrowserCapabilities
component that
existed in ASP.
Essentially, the HttpBrowserCapabilities
class is a list of properties that describe the client’s browser. Many properties return True
or False
, depending on whether a given capability is
enabled in the browser, such as ActiveXControls
, BackgroundSounds
, CDF
(the channel
definition format used in webcasting), Cookies
, Frames
, JavaApplets
, JavaScript
, and VBScript
. Other
Boolean values tell you whether or not the browser is AOL-based, a
beta, and running on the Win16 or Win32 platform (the AOL
, Beta
, Win16
, and Win32
properties,
respectively). Additionally, you can retrieve information such as
version number
(MajorVersion
and MinorVersion
),
the Platform
name
(e.g., “Win32”), the browser Type
(e.g.,
“Microsoft Internet Explorer 5”), and the full Version
number as
a string.
