Editing or creating user agent entries

You can edit found entries or add new ones through UserAgentRevealer.exe.

About this task

If the user agent entry cannot be identified, the Type value in the usersupplement.csv file is set to UNKNOWN. In these instances, you can add the user agent string to the usersupplement.csv file with values that you define.

If the user agent entry in the usercap.csv file contains errors or values that you would like to change, you can create an entry with the overriding data in usercap.csv. These values are used instead of the value that is listed in the applicable public standard (browscap.csv).

All information that is entered into the fields is case-sensitive. Double quotation marks cannot be used and are stripped from the input.
