Upgrade Kohana::user-agent() detection

[brettalton]

I found this User-agent detection library written in PHP that may be of some use: http://id.ziew.info/

The actual download contains many icons for browsers and operating systems (which Kohana doesn't need), but what it could use is its main function "function parse_user_agent($user_agent)".

Hope it helps!

[brettalton]

Of course, there's always http://browsers.garykeith.com/downloads.asp (browscap.ini)

Test

echo 'agent: '.Kohana::debug(Kohana::user_agent()).'<br />';
echo 'browser: '.Kohana::debug(Kohana::user_agent('browser')).'<br />';
echo 'version: '.Kohana::debug(Kohana::user_agent('version')).'<br />';
echo 'platform: '.Kohana::debug(Kohana::user_agent('platform')).'<br />';

Notes

For a database of user_agent strings, see http://id.ziew.info/showdb.php

I will try and make some patches here in the near future.

=== Firefox 2.0.0.14/Ubuntu Linux ===

Correct, BUT platform could be 'Ubuntu' instead of 'Linux'

If I need to check if a user is using Windows, Linux, Unix or MAC I don't want the method to return Ubuntu. What for? Ubuntu is Linux, isn't it?

Yet it would be a good idea to add index 'distro' with the name of the distrubution (Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware and so on).

Started fix in r2995. Most of the cases above are solved now: Epiphany and Galeon added, also letters in versions accepted.

The issue with Linux vs Ubuntu remains for now. Need some clarification for that one.

I'm going to agree with that and close this ticket.

Oops, I swear I didn't mean to do that.
