HTTPBrowserCapa bilities Question

I'm writing a C# app which analyzes and reports on IIS web logs. I've
got it producing numbers for hits, visits, ips, etc. but I'm having
trouble parsing the UserAgent string so I can get Browser, OS, and
Version information.

So I saw this great System.Web.HTTP BrowserCapabili ties object which
will parse the User Agent string for me and tell me everything I need.
Only problem is there's no easy way to create an instance of this
object except by actual getting a request from a browser...

Any ideas of how to use this object's user agent parsing capabilities
on a string that I supply?
Thanks.

I doubt it. You might have an entry point with the static
Httpcababilitie sBase.GetConfig Capabilities method. But you'll need to set
up so much pseudo-request stuff that it won't be worth it.

Thanks Karl. Actually, I found a solution. I downloaded the Mono C#
source code, found the HttpBrowserCapa bilities class. It's easy to
modify, since it compiles fine under Microsoft's .NET.
