browscap

A simple library to parse the beloved browscap.ini file. This gem was ported to Ruby by Lukas Fittl from Python. The original code was written by Henning Schroeder.

Usage

require 'browscap'
bcap = Browscap.new
browser = bcap.query("Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux; X11; de) KHTML/3.5.2 (like Gecko) Kubuntu 6.06 Dapper")

browser.crawler?    # => false
browser.version     # => 3.5

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

  • Fork the project.
  • Make your feature addition or bug fix.
  • Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
  • Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull.
  • Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
