This would be extremely useful. I've often been stuck trying to figure out some of the stranger ones.
In which case I'll get building and make an announcement when it is done. Robin

I'm thinking of putting a site together which breaks the string down into its component parts and reports back on each of them if it knows, so for this you'd get: MSIE 6.0 = IE 6 Windows NT 5.0 = windows 2000 YPC 3.0.3 = Don't know etc Does anyone think this would be useful? I can easily write a site to do this which will accept new data, the only problem will be populating it, there I would need your help.

I've just googled a few but the ones I've found have either been out of date or just long lists of known ones with no real descriptions of what they relate to. I'm after something that will take a string such as: "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; FunWebProducts; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)" and suggest what browser, OS, service pack/patch level and what extras they have installed. I know that it can't be 100% accurate and some parts are obvious (e.g. browser) but it would be nice to just throw the string into something and have a description come back. If it doesn't exist, would anyone else find it useful? Building a system to do this wouldn't be too hard, it would be populating it that would take some time and effort.
