UserCap.csv
In some cases, you might need to overwrite the user agent
strings and their corresponding data that is available in the public
standards. The UserCap.csv
file is used to overwrite
user agent strings. For example, you might need to correct errors
that your enterprise detects in the public standards with more accurate
information.
Discover provides the UserCap.csv
file,
which can be used to override values in the public standards. By gathering
the user agent string value from the source file, you can then create
a new entry in the UserCap.csv
file through the UserAgentRevealer.exe
utility.
During evaluation of user agent strings, the Discover Reference session agent checks UserCap.csv
to
see whether it contains replacement values for any detected user agents.
If so, the replacement values are used instead.
Configurations in UserCap.csv
replace corresponding entries in
browscap.csv
. If you want to add values that do not appear in these files, use
UserSupplement.csv
. For more information on replacing values by configuration
file, see UserSupplement.csv.
Be careful in creating replacement user agent strings. UserCap.csv
takes
precedence over the public standards at run time. It is possible for
the public standards to become updated without having those updates
reflected in the user agent data that is consumed by Discover. Review the contents of UserCap.csv
whenever
updates are made to the public standards in use by your Discover implementation.
An example version of UserCap.csv
is included
during installation. You can configure entries in this file with the UserAgentRevealer.exe
utility.
