can I mod_rewrite the HTTP_USER_AGENT?

[jhughes96]

Hi,
does anyone know the syntax for performing a mod_rewrite on the HTTP_USER_AGENT? (don't ask me why!)

Sure no problem.

You find more info here:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html

and here:

Hi Arie1,
thanks for your reply.

The RewriteCond directive allows you so performing conditional checking on the HTTP headers but the real work is done by RewriteRule - this is where transformations are performed. The problem is that I can only find examples of the RewriteRule rewriting the URL - not the HTTP Headers (which are obviously not part of the actual URL).

any ideas? anyone?

I doubt that that would be possible. I misread your original question.

Thats ok Arie1, I've solved the problem now a different way although I'm sure its possible for a proxy to alter useragents.
