I added: [webView setApplicationNameForUserAgent:@"Netscape"]; but it
didn't work. Can anyone tell me what webkit function to call in order
to
return a proper value to Javascript's "window.navigator.appName" ?
thanks.
WebCore uses the following rule for what it returns for appName (from
Navigator::getValueProperty in kjs_navigator.cpp):
If the user agent string has "Mozilla" in it and does not have
"compatible" in it, then use "Netscape".
Otherwise if the user agent string has "Microsoft" in it or has
"MSIE" in it, then use "Microsoft Internet Explorer".
Otherwise return an undefined value.
If you don't give a custom user agent string, then you should see
"Netscape". I just tested in Safari with:
javascript:alert(navigator.appName)
and it did indeed show "Netscape".
If you do give a custom user agent string, using the WebView methods
that let you customize it, then the rules above will determine what
appName will return.
There's currently no Web Kit feature to let you set appName to an
arbitrary string. If you'd like one, it would be good to file a bug
requesting it at <http://bugreport.apple.com>, and feel free to also
post here explaining why it's a good and important feature.
