BrowserSniffer

One of the biggest craps in the world ( real and internet ) is something called IE 6 ( internet explorer 6 ). Nothing works as expected on that piece of crap. That's why I've decided to contribute to the world helping innocent souls that are using IE6 to change to a real browser or at least upgrade to IE7.

This little drupal module detects the user's browser and redirect to a specified path. At the beginning the idea was just to point ie6 requests to a specific path, but while developing I thought that this could get actually useful.

Version 1 of the module just asks for redirect paths for ie6, ie7, firefox and iphone. ( that's because i own one ). But there's way much more to come.

Other feature included is bypassing, you can control who gets redirected and who don't. ( and just so you know, as a security measure, drupal's root account doesn't get redirected, gladly i didn't learn that the hard way )

Right now the module is a .zip on my server, but any time soon ill hook it on drupal's cvs repository.
