Support Client Hints

[gfoidl]

Google Chrome's developer tools shows a hint about the usage of navigator.userAgent and navigator.userAgentData. More info: Migrate to User-Agent Client Hints

@BenjaminAbt do you have more info if we need to take this into account?

[BenjaminAbt]

If I understand the navigator thing right, thats a JavaScript DOM API and does not affect requests / our impl.

[BenjaminAbt]

but maybe we have to update this

HttpUserAgentParser/src/MyCSharp.HttpUserAgentParser/HttpUserAgentStatics.cs

Line 26 in cc37016

public static readonly HashSet<HttpUserAgentPlatformInformation> Platforms = new()

Windows 11 Chrome

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/102.0.5005.63 Safari/537.36

Windows 11 Edge

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/102.0.5005.63 Safari/537.36

Cannot see any changes regarding Win11

[BenjaminAbt]

But there is this doc

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/web-platform/how-to-detect-win11

I guess I have to test this

[BenjaminAbt]

I cannot see any Header Changes in the Developer Tools in Chrome, Edge oder Brave.

[BenjaminAbt]

Edit: I can see changes in Chrome. I was watching the wrong tab before.

User AGent is still present

In Brave:

No new tags

In Edge same as Chrome

I would suggest we change our behavior: first check the new headers.
Then the user agent.

Sounds like a good plan.

There is now a documentation

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Client_hints#user-agent_client_hints
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Sec-CH-UA#browser_compatibility

but still not implemented in all browsers

[BenjaminAbt]

Due to privacy reasons we still do not have client hints in all major browsers
