Browser Detection using ASP.NET

Hello everyone.

I guess if you�re reading this you have downloaded my HttpCapabilities C# code. I designed this code to be able to read and process Microsoft Browsercap config, and allow me to debug and test my changes. I have made a lot of changes mostly to make it work for how I am using it currently. I am currently using this as part of a larger program to process Useragent info from log files and identify the browser and search engines that visit my website. This can be used from an asp webpage I just have not tested it in that area.  I wanted to release this project so others might be able to use it to help improve there site and testing of there browsercap changes. If you have questions you can email me at Ocean@xvision.com and put "HttpCapabilities" as part of the subject line so it gets filtered to the correct directory. I have only tested this project with Dot.net 1.1, it should work in Dot.net 1.0.

Currently Mono fails some of the nunit tests. I will submit the bugs to mono dev team, and hopefully be able to fix the bugs in the regular expressions. (Mono windows version 1.7.0)

The file CodeProject.xml is free to the public and has no license limitations placed on it. I dowloaded it from CodeProject.com, and have made a number of edits adding new browsers and making sure the browsercap information can identify most of the browsers activily used in the market.

Added a command line tool that reads in Useragents from the stdin and outputs the browser details to stdout in xml format. There is a command line bat file Sample.bat showing the basics how to use the command line tool. I do not know of any tools that will use this command line program, it is ment as an example on what can be done with my HttpCapabilities Libary.

The batch file has two lines in it. These two lines types the UserAgent.txt to the standard out which is piped into the standard HttpCapabilities command line utility, which then outputs its results and is saved in "SampleOutput.xml" which on the next line is run.
