One of the support questions I got this week was around my favourite browser (and the latest Netscape one) and ASP.NET.

ASP.NET 1.1 doesn't recognize Firefox by default. It therefore doesn't set the Browser[“css2“] property appropriately, meaning that sometimes stylesheet info isn't sent down. So, after a bit of struggling with Regex expressions and the Browser Agent, I came up with these two additions to the browserCaps section. Anyone want to tighten up the features and/or expressions?

UPDATED 5/24 with the correct Firefox Regex.

Firefox (0.8)
Agent string:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8
<case match^Mozilla/5\.0\s*([^)]*\))\s*(Gecko\/\d+)\s*
Firefox\/(?'version'(?'major'\d+)(?'minor'\.\d+)(?'letters'\w*)).*">
browser=Netscape
version=${version}
majorversion=${major}
minorversion=${minor}
frames=true
tables=true
cookies=true
javascript=true
javaapplets=true
ecmascriptversion=1.5
w3cdomversion=1.0
css1=true
css2=true
xml=true
<filter match="^b" with="${letters}">
  beta=true
</filter></case>

Netscape 7.1
Agent string:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Netscape/7.1 (ax)

<case match="^Mozilla/5\.0\s*([^)]*\))\s*(Gecko\/\d+)\s*
Netscape/(?'version'(?'major'\d+)(?'minor'\.\d+)(?'letters'\w*)).*">
browser=Netscape
version=${version}
majorversion=${major}
minorversion=${minor}

ecmascriptversion=1.5
w3cdomversion=1.0
css1=true
css2=true

<filter match="^b" with="${letters}">

</filter></case>
