For anyone who's interested...
I've been recording the USER_AGENT variable of every client connecting to=
=20
Wired's home page over the past two weeks. Out of 20800 connections,=20
here's the stats. I threw away everything in the string after the first=20
'/', so as to combine versions and throw out the extra text appended by a=
=20
cache it goes through (about 5% were going through caches). =20
Notes:=20
"WinMosaic" is version 2.0, before alpha 7 - "NCSA Mosaic(tm) for=20
Windows" is the new alpha 7.
"MacMosaicB6" is any pre-2.0 version.=20
The blank line are the accesses from clients not sending that info=20
along. Most of those were from "ix.netcom.com", so I'm presuming it was=20
their NetCruiser browser before they put in those stats.
My favorite entries: "WebBunny", "MMMMozilla", "Texture", "Delphi-HTML",=20
and "W3M2" :)
I won't reply to queries as to where some of these browsers were being=20
used, so as to not make any enemies....
