I've got a script that calls the USER_AGENT variable and uses it to select a CCS file to load. Problem is, as I move from browser to browser, apparently the HTTP_USER gets stuck in the proxy cache and some browsers identify themselves as other browsers.
Here's what I've found out. I have an .htm with several SSI's, one of which calls a .php. The .php runs fine - no problem. I upload the file to the server (Netscape Enterprise on NT) and load the page through the proxy (which reports the HTTP_USER) on IE for Mac. HTTP_USER is correct. I load the same page through the proxy on Mozilla for Mac. HTTP_USER is correct. I can switch back and forth between these as many times as I like and the info is correct. Now I switch to Windows and load on IE6 through proxy. HTTP_USER is correct. Netscape on Win? Correct. Now if I go back to the Mac and try IE again, it reports the HTTP_USER as IE6 on Windows NT. We have a couple Win boxes that don't go through the proxy, so I ran this same test again with a renamed file and then the HTTP_USER is correct. So... I apparently can jump between browsers on Macs with no ill side-effects. If I avoid the proxy on Windows I'm safe, but as soon as I hit a Windows browser through the proxy, the HTTP_USER is stuck on that browser identity when I return to the Mac side. Our server admin has blocked .php and .css files from being cached in the proxy, but it seems to have no effect. He personally wants to know if there is anything else he can block that might help. Me? I'm baffled, which isn't hard as I'm relatively new to PHP. -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
