I'm not quite sure, but I guess that Launchy has a interface through
which you can get this info.

the only real thing i know of to accomplish is using javascript to get the
information and pass it back to ruby or you can try examine the http headers
and see if it will display it.

Hope this helps,

Kevin

If you're writing a web application in Ruby, and want to get the browser
information of the client(s) which are connecting to it, then look at
the User-Agent: header. This might be something like
request.env['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] depending on what framework you're using.
