As for now, Arora browser doesn't mention in its User-Agent string the hardware
architecture; i.e.
"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux; en-US) AppleWebKit/532.4 (KHTML, like Gecko)
Arora/0.10.2 (Git: 1333
0a6f1f4) Safari/532.4" only mentions software platform (Linux) but not hardware
platform (in my
case: power/ppc).
''uname -m' and such can tell you on GNU/Linux the hardware platform. IceCat
(based on Firefox)
does mention it: "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux ppc; en-US; rv:1.9.2.2)
Gecko/20100325 IceCat/3.6.2
(like Firefox/3.6.2)", as well as Firefox itself and even Opera the proprietary
browser. So it's not
impossible.
It is optional, but very important information; without it, anyone would think
all http GET requests
from Arora are made from x86 (i386, i486, i586, i586mmx, i686, x86_64). Many
sites collect stats. And by the way, openSUSE and Fedora teams dropped support
for POWER® architecture in their
distros; they say it's less than 0.3% of non-x86 users. All non-x86 users must
be able to expose its
hardware platform to http servers.
