Browser Identification

Web servers like Apache and IIS, and at least one specialized software (Cyspace's BrowserHawk) can detect the identity of a visitor's browser or "user agent". This can be useful in designing web pages tailored to specific browsers. On this page are displayed the user agent signatures of our three real or simulated handheld devices.
