<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!-- Browser data from http://www.seehowitruns.org/ The purpose of this file is to describe, in the shortest possible way, the browsers that have support for JavaScript. Since it is not possible to determine in 100% if a visiting browser has support for JavaScript we are left with our best guess based on the User-Agent header contents. Note that the header may, of course, be faked and completely bogus - thus we do not have to go out of our way in order to be 100% correct and accurate. The important thing to remember about this file before adding any entries to it is that it serves the purpose of finding BROWSERS that DO support JavaScript and not blocking bots etc. that do NOT support JavaScript. The file should be kept as short as possible, because that way the matching we need to do at the beginning of every request will be fast (the entries contained below define 99% of the cases and the generated code is able to match nearly 90000 lines of unique browser strings in under 0.015s). The syntax is simple: 1. Two tags are supported: group and except 1a. The <group> tag The tag takes several attributes: - positions Specifies a section of the User-Agent string which should be probed for match. Syntax: X[-Y][,X[-Y]] ... where both X and Y are digits. Positions are _zero based_ (i.e. the first character of the User-Agent string is at position 0). Several position ranges can be specified, they must be separated with a comma. Generated code checks the U-A string only at the specified positions. - scanfrom Specifies an index in the User-Agent string from which the code should scan for the value specified in the 'match' attribute. Generated code scans the U-A string from this position, moving one position ahead with each iteration and trying to match the specified value starting from each position. NOTE: 'positions' and 'scanfrom' cannot be specified together and one of them must be specified in order for the compiler to process the definition correctly. - skip Specifies the number of initial positions to skip when 'scanfrom' is used. It is a bit superfluous, as it would be possible to specify 'scanfrom' taking the offset into account, but the idea is that the definition editor can see the whole context when given the "absolute start" and the offset while looking at the agent string. - match Specifies the string to look for in the U-A header. Used with both 'scanfrom' and 'positions' attributes. The difference is that with 'positions' match *MUST* contain the same number of of parts as the 'position' attribute (also separated by commas). Also in the 'positions' case, match parts must be equal in length to the specified 'positions' ranges. This attribute is always required. - javascript Specifies the default return value of the group. Defaults to 'false'. 1b. The 'except' tag Defines an exception to the default return value of the group it is defined in. The attributes are the same what in the 'group' tag above. When a match is made on the 'except' clause, the return value is reverse to the group default. Exceptions are rendered _before_ the subgroups. 2. Overall syntax The 'group' container tags can be nested to any depth and can also contain the 'except' tags. The 'except' tags can be specified only within a group. Unknown tags are silently ignored. --> <uplevel> <group positions="0-3" match="Mozi"> <!-- Mozilla and compatibles --> <group positions="7-10" match="/4.0" javascript="true"> <!-- MSIE, Netscape 4.0, Opera --> <except positions="13-28" match="ActiveTouristBot"/> </group> <!-- IE9 or newer --> <group positions="7-10" match="/5.0" javascript="true"> <!-- MSIE 10, MSIE 11 --> <except positions="13-28" match="ActiveTouristBot"/> </group> <group scanfrom="12" skip="4" match=") Gecko/" javascript="true"> <!-- All the Gecko-based browsers --> </group> <group scanfrom="12" skip="4" match=") Opera" javascript="true"> <!-- Opera --> </group> <group positions="12-15" match="(Mac" javascript="true"> <!-- Safari --> </group> <group scanfrom="12" skip="2" match="(KHTML" javascript="true"> <!-- Safari --> </group> <group positions="12-15" match="Gale" javascript="true"> <!-- Galeon < 2.0 --> </group> <group positions="25-28" match="Konq" javascript="true"> <!-- Konqueror --> </group> <group positions="9-11,12" match="/4.,[" javascript="true"> <!-- Netscape 4.x --> </group> </group> <group positions="0-3" match="Konq" javascript="true"> <!-- Konqueror --> </group> <group positions="0-3" match="Oper" javascript="true"> <!-- Opera --> </group> </uplevel>
