detecting plugins / ServerVariables

When using the ServerVariables collection, is there any way to detect
more than just browser version? I would like to be able to detect
certain plugins and do it from the server side. Any suggestions? Thanks!

This is not possible. The browser manufacturers never made a reliable means
of doing this. You need to create a page which runs on the client, detects
if given plugins are available, then returns that result to your server.

Say I've got a page - myPage.asp - that expects to see the results of a form's POST operation. If it comes from the form, all is fine. However, if someone were to manually type the address in the address bar - http://www.mysite.com/myPage.asp - I'd like to be able to detect that they're trying to circumvent the form and redirect them to the appropriate page using Response.Redirect().

I can't seem to find at MS how to detect the 2002 OS vs. 2003 OS for web applications using ASP. This is the only page I could find (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/guide_ppc/htm/designing_web_sites_f or_internet_explorer_for_pocket_pc_cheo.asp) and it only tells how to detect 2000 vs. 2002 (and much of the graphic is cutoff on the right). It has the code below but it doesn't tell me how to distinguish between 2002 and 2003...

I am designing a plugin system for a window application using .NET(C# specifically). One of the requirements of the plugin system is to be able to dynamically load/unload plugins. My initial thought was to use System.Reflection.Assembly.Load to load the plugins dynamically. This worked great, but I was left with no way to dynamically unload the plugin. So now I come to creating a new AppDomain for the plugins to reside in, since the...

Hi, I've been written an asp.net Intranet application and since it will run on an intranet it would be good to be able to detect whether the app runs on the same computer that acts as a server or if it's possible to stop him from doing so. Normally you just enter the ip numbers to the server and startpage in the url. And then you surf on the Intranet.

Hi I am trying to read the html header 'if modified since' by using Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_IF_MODIFIED_SINCE") in classic ASP. But I am unable to get anything from this, this variable is always empty. It is also excluded when I try to list all the server variables. We are using IIS6. So please can someone confirm what is the correct syntax? Cheers,

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
