msnicklous commented on PORTLETSPEC3-63:
----------------------------------------

Based on feedback from the EG, the implementation will be changed. Instead
of using the PortletRequest#getProperty() method, a new method will be
introduced to obtain the user agent string:
{code}
String PortletRequest#getUserAgent()
{code}
This will be more in line with the way other HTTP header information is
obtained through the portlet API.

> We should make  the use agent available to portlets in a standard manner.
The alternatives are:
> 1) Add the PortletRequest#getUserAgent() method and specify that it
always must return the user agent string.
> 2) Change the spec so that PortletRequest#getProperty("User-Agent")
always must return the user agent string.
> 3) Require support for the javax.ccpp.Profile that can be obtained
through:
> {code}
> Profile prof = (Profile)
((PortletRequest)request).getAttribute(PortletRequest.CCPP_PROFILE);
> Attribute attr = prof.getAttribute(deviceAttribute);
> {code}
> I think I would choose #2 unless there are opinions to the contrary.
