Method Detail

acceptsGzip

boolean acceptsGzip(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

getBrowserId

String getBrowserId(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

getBrowserMetadata

BrowserMetadata getBrowserMetadata(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

getMajorVersion

float getMajorVersion(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

Returns the browser's version number as a float. This differs from getVersion(HttpServletRequest), which returns the version number as a String.

Note that the version returned is defined as the real version of the browser software, not the one used to render the page. For example, the browser can be IE10 but it may be using a compatibility view emulating IE8 to render the page. In such a case, this method would return 10.0, not 8.0.

Parameters:

request - the servlet request

Returns:

a float representing the version number

getRevision

String getRevision(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

Returns the browser's revision.

Note that the revision returned is defined as the real revision of the browser software, not the one used to render the page. For example, the browser can be IE10 but it may be using a compatibility view emulating IE8 to render the page. In such a case, this method would return 10.0, not 8.0.

Parameters:

request - the servlet request

Returns:

a String containing the revision number

getVersion

String getVersion(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

Returns the browser's version.

Note that the version returned is defined as the real version of the browser software, not the one used to render the page. For example, the browser can be an IE10 but it may be using a compatibility view emulating IE8 to render the page. In such a case, this method would return 10.0, not 8.0.
