Remarks: ASP Browser Capabilities Component


When a client requests a page from the server, the HTTP header includes a User Agent ASCII string that specifies the browser software name and version. The Browser Capabilities component searches for this string in the Browser Capabilities component Browsecap.ini file. When it finds a match, the properties of the client browser are read and the server adopts the properties of the browser.

The following table lists the minimum set of properties that ASP always checks.
