Browscap

Using the excellent http://github.com/lfittl/browscap parser as a rail plugin

run rake browscap:update to get the new browscap.ini from http://browsers.garykeith.com

Known Issues

Ruby 1.9:

The file is ISO-8859-1

The hex escape char \xdf in

Line 3553

[Der gro\xdfe BilderSauger*]
Parent=Image Crawlers
Browser=Gallery Grabber

makes the current version of browscap choke. I have monkey patched browscap so it should be fine.

Also Line 5228

[www.substancia.com AutoHTTPAgent (ver *)]
Parent=Version Checkers
Browser=Substância

the 'â' make inifile < 0.4.0 choke.

The lib requires inifile >= 0.4.0 so this should be fine tpp.

ApplicationController now have a current_browser method. That's it.

This is my first rails plugin and it does not quite feels right, I'm sure there is plenty of possible improvements / refactoring.

Please send me an message or pull requests if you think so, I'm happy to learn.
