User's browser+OS etc

[DexterMorgan]

Hi,

I found a web app that when a user visits it it gets all their current browsing info e.g. screen res, colours and whatever, then it allows the user to enter an email to email somebody these results back.

So this is useful for me because if a user has an issue they can go to this site and enter my email address then i can see what they are using and try to recreate the error.

Problem is i have forgot what this web app is called lol, I am wondering if any of you here know what i mean.

Thanks in advance.

You can try this yourself. I believe you can get the resolution through javascript, the rest of the items can be grabbed straight from the user-agent string. For example, here is my user agent string copied straight from my http request to this page:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101026 Firefox/3.6.12 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729)

Of course, this is not guaranteed to to be accurate, or even exists, but that is nothing new. OS and browser identification is a tricky subject.

Hi thanks for the reply. Yeah I wanted to see this site so i can find out what they gather as I need to build a sort of bug reporting system, I still cant remember the site name lol. Yeah I have played around with user agents before.
Thanks
