browscap returns 'Default Browser'

[ammont]

browscap_obj->getBrowser()->Browser returns 'Default Browser'

Hi, I can't do anything with it unless you tell me what user agent is this for.

[ammont]

so when it does not recognize the browser will return 'Default Browser'?

Firefox 25.0.1 on OSX

It's funny... cause that's not even documented in http://php.net/get_browser and yet I always assumed everybody knew that :)

Yes, 'Default Browser' means that the browser was not recognized.

Can you please paste the user agent string here?

Me too.

Firefox 26:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:26.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/26.0

And the object returned by getBrowser() contains almost nothing.

But on my Chrome 31 it works OK.

Getting the same here, but after manually retrieving the actual latest browscap.ini (5021-rc1), I do get the correct results....

Looks like there is something amok with the retrieval of the 'latest' version of browscap.ini...

I think the main issue is that http://tempdownloads.browserscap.com/ no longer contains the latest version, but http://browscap.org/ does.

so you can easily fix it:
$browscap = new Browscap($cache_dir);
$browscap->remoteIniUrl = "http://browscap.org/stream?q=Full_PHP_BrowsCapINI";
$browscap->remoteVerUrl = "http://browscap.org/version";

of course this should be done in the current source code.

[quentin389]

That's already in the current version...

I get my checkout with composer and the latest version I had did not link to the new url.

Aha! Updated. Try now. Packagist doesn't update automatically for this project though.
