Hi all; I'm working on a project where both MathML and math images will be available, but the selection _really_ needs to be automatic; a `gateway' page, or similar, would be extremely awkward; standard `content negotiation' doesn't really see mathml support.... So, I'm apparently stuck with browser sniffing. I suppose most who've thought about it have encountered the "^Mozilla/5.*" and "^.*MathPlayer.*" patterns, but they really aren't quite right (many versions of Mozilla w/o MathML, esp Mac, until just recently; does MathPlayer 1 get matched?....) Has anyone collected a more comprehensive set of patterns that they are willing to share? Googling didn't find me much. (other than other people whining :>) Alternatively, would it be worth my setting up a test page that would sniff against an evolving set of patterns? If people visited the page & told me whether the mathml support was correctly recognized, I could develop a set of patterns to share. Of course, if there's a compelling alternative I've missed... Do tell! Thanks -- -- bruce.miller@nist.gov http://math.nist.gov/~BMiller/
