Hi, User-Agent header is defined by HTTP 1.1 Standard as per previous article -- all information can be found on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_agentFormat_for_human-operated_web_browsers

 

User-Agent string format is as follows:

 

Mozilla/[version] ([system and browser information]) [platform] ([platform details]) [extensions].

 

Please read the Wikipedia article - it has all the information you need.
