A JavaScript API has been considered as a replacement for the user agent string, but it has two big downsides: 1) JavaScript must be enabled. If it's not, then the server can't get any of the user agent data - at all. 2) The server won't get the user agent data until after it has already responded to the first request it receives from a client. That makes it a lot less useful overall. Having to load a page, then perhaps redirect the user using JS based on what the JS API says is a bit untidy. |
