I know that, on occasion, I've needed to filter my code for specific
user agents on both the client and server-side. One thing that I never
realized was the shear breadth of user-agents out in the wild.
In looking through Dzone.com, I came across a link to a site which has a
massive list of user-agents and I definitely bookmarked it because I
find that type of info invaluable:
http://www.user-agents.org/
I'm not associated with the site in anyway. I just thought that it would
be a good resource for your guys.
In case someone's not familiar with user-agents, they're typically used
to identify what client is hitting your website. Wikipedia gives a nice
explanation as:
"A user agent is the client application used with a particular network
protocol; the phrase is most commonly used in reference to those which
access the World Wide Web. Web user agents range from web browsers to
search engine crawlers ("spiders"), as well as mobile phones, screen
readers and braille browsers used by people with disabilities."
