UA Parsing Is Incorrect - Safari Nightlies vs Safari #177

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Safari 4.0.4 is not Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_2; fr-fr) 
AppleWebKit/533.1  
(KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Safari/531.21.10,gzip(gfe),gzip(gfe)

I'm using a nightly build

I see no real way for us to know or reason for us to distinguish nightly from 
the 
version number, do you?

If the AppleWebKit version is different than the Safari version, then, you're 
not using the standard Safari 4.0.4.

Distinguish nightlies from release versions is important because otherwise, 
Safari 4.0.4 results won't represent 
Safari releases but a mix of Safari releases and nightlies.

Ok cool, thanks for the info to tell the difference. I'll get that in.

Looking at the lists here, I'm thinking that a version mismatch doesn't 
necessarily 
imply nightly.

Although I can't be sure, it looks like all the version mismatch imply nightly. 
This website registered a 
Mac OS 10.7 with Safari 4.1 so it looks like it's storing every user agent 
received.

I'm afraid until we have a sure way to detect this we're stuck.
If it can be detected in Javascript we could update our JS UA override code to 
account for it.

Going with the regex which matches the + a the end of the WebKit version string.
