Browser Detection

Does anyone have samples of a rule to determine the Browser and version the client is using? The theory is that for a few of our applications they can only run on a certain browser(s) and its level(s). I would like to determin the browser and then decide if we will allow the F5 continue to route to the login screen or post a popup to say you are not on a supported browser etc...

    Perhaps something like this to start with: 

    
when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [class match [string tolower [HTTP::header User-Agent]] contains user_agent_datagroup] } {
         client user agent is in the list
        ....
    }
}

    Then you'd create a simple string-based data group with (lowercased) User-Agent patterns that you wanted to accept.
