[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package webkit2gtk - 2.19.92-1

---
webkit2gtk (2.19.92-1) experimental; urgency=medium

  [ Alberto Garcia ]
  * New upstream development release.
  * debian/rules:
+ Don't redefine CFLAGS or LDFLAGS when calling cmake, and don't add
  CPPFLAGS to CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS. Cmake already reads all those
  environment variables.
  * Build the documentation:
+ debian/rules:
  - Support the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS "nodoc" tag and pass -DENABLE_GTKDOC
to CMake depending on whether it's set or not.
  - Override the dh_install rule to make sure that a dummy doc
directory is present if "nodoc" is set.
+ debian/control:
  - Add build dependencies on libglib2.0-doc, libgtk-3-doc and
libsoup2.4-doc.
  - Update Standards-Version to 4.1.3 (we now support "nodoc").
+ debian/libwebkit2gtk-4.0-doc.install:
  - Install the generated documentation instead of the one provided by
upstream.
  * debian/copyright:
+ Update copyright years.

[Bug 1751484] Re: Captive portal browser/device misreported

[Jeremy Bicha]

This is handled by

https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-webkit/webkit.git/tree/debian/patches
/user-agent-branding.patch?h=wk2/experimental

and via the 2 USERAGENT lines in debian/rules.

The patch is actually already in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and 17.10. It took me
some time to figure out the correct syntax in debian/rules to get the
user agent override feature working.

I believe the user agent with my pending fix will be

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML,
like Gecko) Version/11.0 Safari/605.1.15

Comments

Websites may still misidentify it as Safari.

I am using a patch from Fedora. They do the same thing we do except with
"Fedora" instead of "Ubuntu".

This is also being backported to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and 17.10 when we do
future webkit2gtk security and feature updates.
