WURFL Best capatibility to detect browser

Postby bi.admin » Wed Dec 02, 2015 8:51 am

Hi !

I would like to know what is the "best" capatibility to use in order to detect the browser used by a user agent in WURFL (for example : "firefox", "internet explorer", "google chrome", etc). Is it "mobile_browser" or "advertised_browser" ? What is the difference between these two capatibilities ?

Thank you all !

Hello,

I would recommend using the advertised_* virtual capabilities as they have added logic to determine the value as it is being presented in the HTTP headers of the device. The physical capability that you have mentioned will use the capabilities as they exist in the WURFL.xml file itself.

Thank you,

Elliot

Hello,

Since you are using our WURFL Cloud service, the wurfl.xml is not hosted locally and is instead kept server side as part of the service.

Thank you,

Elliot
