browser detection

Question

User1024191908 posted

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?

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");
        }
    }
