FocalPoint registry
The following section describes the FocalPoint registry element.
user-agents
The user-agent element consists of a set of definitions of user agents. A user agent is a device that may access a Web server. A typical user agent is a browser like Microsoft Internet Explorer or Firefox. Other types of user agents are automatic HTTP traffic generators, like Precise Insight Inquire. The Precise for Web Collector agent, automatically collects the user agent of every request that it monitors. To extract a comprehensive user agent name and version from the user agent header of the request, the agent uses the definitions in the user-agents element. By default, the user-agent element contains a definition for most of the industry’s known Web servers, like Microsoft Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape, Mozilla as well as the integrative Precise Insight Inquire traffic generator. However, you can add any number of user agents to the list, or change the definition of an existing user agent to adjust it to customers private needs or conventions. For example, the definition for the Netscape browser is:
<user-agent id="Netscape" display-string="Netscape version">
<version-search-string>Netscape</version-search-string>
<search-string value="Netscape"/>
</user-agent>
