User agent sanitizer
Parse a HTTP user agent and attempt to return something that means something to a human.
Example:
require 'user_agent_sanitizer'
UserAgentSanitizer.sanitize_user_agent('Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 5_0_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/534.46 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1 Mobile/9A405 Safari/7534.48.3')
# => 'Apple iPhone'
UserAgentSanitizer.sanitize_user_agent('Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.3.3; nl-nl; SAMSUNG GT-I9100/I9100BUKE5 Build/GINGERBREAD) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/533.1')
# => 'Samsung GT-I9100'
Since version 1.1.0, UserAgentSanitizer.user_agent is available:
ua = UserAgentSanitizer.user_agent('Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 5_0_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/534.46 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1 Mobile/9A405 Safari/7534.48.3')
ua.brand
# => "Apple"
ua.model
# => "iPhone"
ua.to_s
# => "Apple iPhone"
Installation
Via rubygems
gem install user_agent_sanitizer
Bundler:
# Gemfile
gem 'user_agent_sanitizer'
From source:
rake install
New devices
Every time I encounter a new user agent that does not resolve to something useful, I add it as a test case and tweak the parser until all tested headers are correctly parsed. See the spec
