RE: redirect based on User Agent ?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Thanks for the answer Joshua. I'm going to use WURLF (
http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/ ) for maintaining the list of devices.

Do you know if it's possible to pass the User Agent variable to the
redirector program ?

Do you mean something like this?

acl blackberry browser Blackberry
acl windowsce browser Windows.CE
acl symbian browser Symbian
redirect_program /usr/local/bin/myredirector
redirector_access allow blackberry
redirector_access allow windowsce
redirector_access allow symbian

This page might help you with constructing regexes to use:

Alternatively, you might find it more flexible to do this in the
application.
That'll allow you to handle many more special cases than Squid will.
Looking at the variegated browser strings, I suspect there'll be plenty
of gotchas.

Regards
Joshua.
