Sniff platform of incoming request and provide it as an analytics dimension

XMLWordPrintable

      Any HTTP request handled by the circulation manager will include a value for the User-Agent header.

      By examining this header we can determine whether the client is the Android SimplyE app, the iOS SimplyE app, or a regular web browser.

      Once determined, this generic "platform" information can be made a dimension in any analytics event triggered by an incoming request. This will give library administrators a picture of the platform mix used by the library's patrons.

      The exact User-Agent value must not be used as an analytics dimension since it can be used to fingerprint users.
