	User agent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One result of user agent spoofing is that the usage share of Internet Explorer, the user agent browsers typically spoof, is probably overestimated, and the usage share of all other browsers may be underestimated.
		A user agent is the client application used with a particular network protocol; the phrase is most commonly used in reference to those which access the World Wide Web.
		When Internet users visit a web site, a text string is generally sent to identify the user agent to the server.

	User agent refs
		Conforming user agents may consider the value of "text-transform" to be "none" for characters that are not from the ISO Latin-1 repertoire and for elements in languages for which the transformation is different from that specified by the case-conversion tables of Unicode or ISO 10646.
		The user agent may address this by causing the next side-float or normal block-area to "clear" one of the relevant side-floats, as described in the "clear" property description, so the intrusion adjustment is sufficiently reduced.
		User agents must map names to values in a way that preserves visual order; a face mapped to a value must not be lighter than faces mapped to lower values.

	Software agent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computer science, a software agent is an abstraction, a mental model that describes software that acts for a user or other program in a relationship of agency
		For example, the agent may detect a decline in the construction industry for an economy; based on this relayed information construction companies will be able to make intelligent decisions regarding the hiring/firing of employees or the purchase/lease of equipment in order to best suit their firm.
		Since agents are well suited to include their required resources in their description, they can be designed to be very loosely coupled and it becomes easy to have them executed as independent threads and on distributed processors.

	Sulla - A User Agent for the Web (1)
		An agent must be able to operate without the direct intervention of humans or others, and have some kind of control over their actions and internal state to facilitate its user [5].
		Maes' electronic mail agent [14] is an excellent example of a stationary, limited scope agent, operating only on the user's workstation and only upon the incoming mail queue for that single user.
		A user agent for the web is used by one or more users to facilitate Web information search and retrieval.

	HTTP/1.1: Header Field Definitions
		Quality factors allow the user or user agent to indicate the relative degree of preference for that media-range, using the qvalue scale from 0 to 1 (section 3.9).
		User agents are advised to take special care in parsing the WWW- Authenticate field value as it might contain more than one challenge, or if more than one WWW-Authenticate header field is provided, the contents of a challenge itself can contain a comma-separated list of authentication parameters.
		Sometimes a user agent might want or need to insist that a cache revalidate its cache entry with the origin server (and not just with the next cache along the path to the origin server), or to reload its cache entry from the origin server.

	RFC 1524 (rfc1524) - A User Agent Configuration Mechanism For Multimedia M
		Crucial to this scheme, however, is that all of the user agents agree on a common representation and source for the configuration file.
		One approach to this transition is to modify diverse sets of mail reading user agents so that, when they need to display mail of an unfamiliar (non-text) type, they consult an external file for information on how to display that file.
		Location of Configuration Information Each user agent must clearly obtain the configuration information from a common location, if the same information is to be used to configure all user agents.

	Columbia SIP User Agent
		If a user is running sipc for the first time, the 'Preference' dialog will pop up to ask the user to input the configuration information.

		A user can block a contact if the user does not like to provide his/her presence status and does not like to be annoyyed by the contact, the user can choose to block the contact.

	LWP::UserAgent - Web user agent class
		The user agent string should be one or more simple product identifiers with an optional version number separated by the ``/'' character.
		These methods will then be invoked by the user agent as requests are sent and responses are received.
		The agent value is sent as the ``User-Agent'' header in the requests.

		User agent certainly isn’t the only item that meets these criteria, but deleting it would be an admirable (and no doubt highly controversial) first step.
		User Agents are necessary for seeing who uses what, especially with Firefox bug tracking.
		I want to be clear that we do not advocate blocking access to content based on the User Agent string of the browser, as this practice results in users of unknown and newer versions of browsers being locked out.

	A Single User's Agent
		When the user takes an action, it is paired with the corresponding situation and the situation-action pair is recorded in the agent's memory.
		Each user's interface agent learns by continuously ``looking over the shoulder'' of the user as the user is performing actions.
		The interface agent monitors the actions of the user over long periods of time, finds recurrent patterns and offers to automate them.

	Dan's Web Tips: Brand-X Browsers -- User Agent Strings
		So it seems like we're stuck for the indefinite future with user agent strings that get further and further away from honestly describing the browser name and version they represent, and contain increasing amounts of fossilized deadwood that can't be removed because some site, somewhere, allegedly depends on its presence.
		Whenever anyone gives statistics purporting to identify what percentage of users are using which browsers, this is (if it's not just somebody's wild guess) probably taken from analysis of the user agent identifiers of visitors to a Web site.
		Some info on user agent strings (with some misguided comments; the author is critical of browsers whose UA strings don't include "Mozilla or MSIE compatibility numbers", apparently thinking that these strings ought to mimic other browsers instead of honestly identifying what the browser is.)

	The Old Joel on Software Forum - Browser "User Agent"
		If you do consistently change the User Agent though you may not be getting the best out of the browser since a page may sniff on the basis of the User Agent alone and assume your browser can't do what it actually can.
		One of the reasons to change a Browser's user agent string is because some sites will not allow access to non-IE browsers even when a Gecko or KHTML based browser will read the content just fine.
		Sites like banks require IE as a user agent because it's the only browser that they bothered to test on and they have pretty strict confidentiality and security requirements.

	MathPlayer: Creating MathML Web Sites
		For users without MathML-capable browsers, a gateway may encourage them to use a different browser or provide links to content in an alternative format.
		Similarly, Netscape and Mozilla users usually need to install extra math fonts on their computers in order to view MathML pages properly.
		Similarly, a gateway page should inform Netscape and Mozilla users about how to obtain and install the fonts required for MathML display in their browsers.

	BetaNews Opera to Stop Spoofing IE User Agent
		The user agent is a string of data sent by Web browsers, which enables Web sites to custom tailor functionality depending on what technology is supported by a specific browser.
		However, user agents have also been used improperly by site owners to restrict those with perfectly valid browsers, such as Opera, from visiting.
		There is plenty of DHTML that sites actively withold from users not displaying an IE user agent, and Opera users got borked on this many times.

	IEBlog : Internet Explorer 7 User Agent String
		I wish user agent sniffing were not necessary, but since it is a necessary evil, it seems better to know what is coming now rather than later.
		Still, I am glad that you are releasing your user agent string--deceptive and poorly decided as it is--so people can plan and test for it in advance.
		Any page that breaks because of a new user agent string is a page that does not deserve to be read.

	seamonkeyrodeo: User Agent Spam?
		Given that the audience you're targeting by putting spam into a user agent string is one that's pretty likely to get pissed off by finding spam in a user agent string, it also seems a tad unwise as a marketing tactic.
