For a new script I'm writing, I need as much information as possible in advance. You can help collect that. Just go to http://goodolddays.net/up/system.php, copy the first line and paste it here (along with the information how the browser you've been using to access that page is called and which version it is - the copied signature can sometimes be deceiving). The more different 'browser signatures' I can get, the better the script will be!

I'm going to start it myself (so that I have all the information at the same place), but please don't hesitate to add your information even if it looks very similar to anything posted before - it's still important to me!

Opera 7.03


IE 6.0

Mozilla Firebird

Internet Explorer 6.0

Two more...

K-Meleon 0.7



Mozilla 1.2.1 German

...and Phoenix 0.5 German

Thanks to all of you so far, it it beginning to take shape What I'd need in addition is some pre-1.0 Mozilla version. Could anyone supply that?

Just for the record - I tried a few early Mosaic versions, but was told the page could not load.

Could you try it again now?

Those browsers do not support the .php extension.

I've found some more browsers on CD...

Mozilla 0.93


OffByOne 3.2.J.2


SlimBrowser 3.55

Ok, so my suspicion about the older Mozillas was wrong. There apparantely is a browser (which is in common use) which identifies itself with the keyword "Gecko" (like all browsers using the Mozilla engine do), but there is no information about the version (the part after the rv). I guess I have to continue searching for that one.

As for the other two, I think they're not all that important (since I doubt anyone really uses them), but it's good to have this information anyway

Mozilla 1.1 plus multizilla plugin

And finally, using proxomitron to spoof websites:

Cypherswipe: Could you confirm this K-Meleon signature? As far as I know, this browser is Mozilla-based as well (Tapuak's post confirms this), but I don't see anything in your version to tell it apart from regular Internet Explorer....

Confirmed on all accounts. That is the exact signature your pages gives when I visit with k-meleon, and k-meleon is based on mozilla. Specifically:
"Uses the Gecko rendering engine by the Mozilla Group Based on MfcEmbed"

I just found the problem. I forgot that I had setup k-meleon to pretend to be IE. Here is the signature after telling it to identify as itself.

Well, that is bad. Opera's 'spoofing' is easy to notice (it still says "Opera" in any case), but this is really something which is impossible to distinguish from the actual IE. What is the default identification setting for K-Meleon? How hard is it to change this?

I'd say moderately difficult. It's done via scripting, not just checking an option, but the directions are on the website, and you just have to cut&paste the script.

But the default is the one Tapuak posted and not IE-spoofing?

Yes, default is to identify as itself, not as IE.
