[users@httpd] HTML rendering capability

Good Evening Everybody,

I am not sure if I am asking this question at right forum or not. I am sorry
if it is not the right forum.
I am wondering "if there is way based on http headers to determine if the
requesting party has html rendering capability or not"?
Any ideas or suggestion will be appreciated.
Thank you.
Santos

This is definitely not the right forum for that question, I think this is
dedicated to questions about installing and configuring the apache web
server, however.. I think it's a safe bet that if someone is transporting
data on the hypertext transfer protocol, you can expect that they have the
ability to parse hypertext markup language.

Most browsers will send an Accept header:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html

If the header isn't there, you should assume that they can handle all
content types.

Cheers
