detecting plugins / ServerVariables

Philip Townsend

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.
