func ShortenUA

func ShortenUA(ua string) string

ShortenUA shortens a User-Agent string by replacing common strings with small tokens.

Use UnshortenUA() to reverse it.

Example:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/80.0.3987.132 Safari/537.36
~Z (~W NT 10.0; Win64; x64) ~a537.36 ~G ~c80.0.3987.132 ~s537.36

The goal is not to produce the shortest output, but to provide a reasonably short output while maintaining readability.

Inspired by: https://github.com/icza/gox/blob/master/netx/httpx/httpx.go

func UnshortenUA

func UnshortenUA(short string) string

UnshortenUA reverses ShortenUA().

type UserAgent

type UserAgent struct {
    BrowserName    string
    BrowserVersion string
    OSName         string
    OSVersion      string
}

func Parse

func Parse(h http.Header) UserAgent

Parse attempts to retrieve the browser and system name from the set of headers.

func ParseUA

func ParseUA(uaHeader string) UserAgent

ParseUA parses a User-Agent header.

Example

Code:

ua := gadget.ParseUA(`Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:73.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/73.0`)

fmt.Println(ua.String())  // "Firefox 73 on Windows 10"
fmt.Println(ua.Browser()) // "Firefox 73"
fmt.Println(ua.OS())      // "Windows 10"

// Or for more detailed information:
fmt.Println(ua.BrowserName)    // "Firefox"
fmt.Println(ua.BrowserVersion) // "73"
fmt.Println(ua.OSName)         // "Windows"
fmt.Println(ua.OSVersion)      // "10"

// Helper to shorten the UA string while remaining readable:
uaHeader := `Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/81.0.4029.0 Safari/537.36`
short := gadget.ShortenUA(uaHeader)
fmt.Println(short)                                 // ~Z (~W NT 10.0; Win64; x64) ~a537.36 ~G ~c81.0.4029.0 ~s537.36
fmt.Println(gadget.UnshortenUA(short) == uaHeader) // true

Output:

Firefox 73 on Windows 10
Firefox 73
Windows 10
Firefox
73
Windows
10
~Z (~W NT 10.0; Win64; x64) ~a537.36 ~G ~c81.0.4029.0 ~s537.36
true
