58603 - Need documentation on User Agent Strings for Netscape 6.0

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Description

[bwhit]

The Netscape.com reporting team needs info on the User Agent String syntax. Can 
somebody in CPD help them out?

Subject:              User Agent String Syntax for N6
        Date:              Tue, 31 Oct 2000 07:49:01 -0800
       From:              [e-mail] (Linda Anderson)
 Organization:              Netscape
         To:              [e-mail], Bruce Whittaker 
<[e-mail]>, [e-mail]

Looking at User Agent Strings for Netscape 6.0, it appears to me there has been 
a change in syntax. 

Is this syntax documented? Who can provide me a copy of it? Or who should I 
speak to about it? 

Would appreciate having this asap. 

Thank you, 
Linda

not build config, punting to browser-general.

I thought I remember someone saying that dbaron was informed in this area.
dbaron, if I'm way off here please punt back to me.

[e-mail], can you please tell me why this bug is marked Netscape
Confidential?

bwhit: Here is the documentation you require:
   http://www.mozilla.org/build/revised-user-agent-strings.html

Marking bug FIXED and removing confidential bit since there is no Netscape
confidential information in this bug report.

Note that asking in the Mozilla newsgroups may be a better idea in future. ;-)

bwhit: Please mark bug VERIFIED if that is all the information you need. Thanks.

updating url.

Question, will Mozilla 1.0 be marked as Mozilla/1.0 (...) 
Gecko/{moresignificantnumber} ?

I think not, since Mozilla/1.0 was already used for Mosaic Netscape 1.0.
