  browser detection

  Apr 21, 2018 07:29 AM|anooshiravan|LINK

  I have a third party web user control and it seems that it only generates some javascript code if it detects some specific browser(e.g IE 11)

  so how can I fake it so the user control thinks it is IE 11 not chrome or firefox?

  Mark as Answer if it helps.

  You check to see if it's IE and then do something.

  I found that using a class that inherits IHTTPMODULE and then adding an event handler for Begin_Request() I can change the user agent.

  public class UserAgentHandler : IHttpModule
      {
          public void Init(HttpApplication app)
          {
              app.BeginRequest += new EventHandler(BeginReq);
          }
  
          public  void Dispose()
          {
  
          }
  
          public void BeginReq(object sender,EventArgs e)
          {
  
              NameValueCollection headers = HttpContext.Current.Request.Headers;
              headers.Remove("User-Agent");
              headers.Add("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/65.0.3325.181 Safari/537.36");
          }
      }
