Hi,
I am trying to access a web application which only supports IE version 5.01
and above. In order to perform this check we use USerAgent string to check
the IE version and then allow the users to access the application.
While testing we found out that on Windows XP IE 6.0 when the user agent is
beyong 256 character length, the rest of the useragent string is getting
truncated and it is only returning Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0.
However this is not the case with IE 7.0 and IE 8.0.
Is this a known issue in IE 6.0 and do this have any workaroound?
Any pointers to this or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & regards,
Ashwin
