The UserAgent

Since this is my first post I want to start of small by posting a java code snippet. This snippet helps in detecting which browser made the request at the server-side

           String userAgent = request.getHeader("User-Agent");
  
           String browser = "unknown";
  
           if (userAgent != null) {
  
                userAgent = userAgent.toLowercase();
  
                if (this.userAgent.indexOf("msie") > -1) {
  
                     browser = "IE";
  
                } else if (this.userAgent.indexOf("opera") > -1) {
  
                     browser = "Opera";
  
                } else if (this.userAgent.indexOf("firefox") > -1) {
  
                     browser = "Firefox";
  
                } else if (this.userAgent.indexOf("chrome") > -1) {
  
                     browser = "Chrome";
  
                } else if (this.userAgent.indexOf("navigator") > -1) {
  
                     browser = "Netscape";
  
                } else if (this.userAgent.indexOf("konqueror") > -1) {
  
                     browser = "Konqueror";
  
                }
  
           }  

This snippet can be improved upon alot. Hope this is of help to someone.
