Re: Minimizing/avoiding User-Agent, was: SPDY Header Frames

WAP did stick with the user-agent header. WAP has an extension named 
user agent profile sending a device profile URL in a header. This allows 
vendors to place an XML description of the clients capabilities on the 
Internet, see 
http://www.openmobilealliance.org/Technical/release_program/uap_v2_0.aspx. 
The client is able to add/overwrite properties using the 
x-wap-profile-diff header.

Roland
