UserAgentInfo (wcomponents-core 1.5.24 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.github.bordertech.wcomponents.UserAgentInfo

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable
```
public class UserAgentInfo
extends Object
implements Serializable
```
This server side browser detection code is required as the client side browser detection code doesn't work for WebSeal's URL re-writing. The client side browser detection uses Microsoft specific code that is embedded in comments. The comments are ignored by all browsers except Microsoft browsers which secretly parses the comments for special keywords. WebSeal behaves as any other normal browser and only URL re-writes html code (and ignores comments) so the screen.css file cannot be located correctly as it's URL doesn't get re-written.
