Subject: [Newbie] How to always redirect the user to a specific url if they use IE

Hi,

I'm developing an admin tool and I'm lucky enough to be able to tell the
users they can not access it with IE.

So my question is, what would the best way to do this? My intention is to
create a silly controller that just shows a template and tells the user
(kindly) that the tool is only accesible by Firefox, Chrome or anything but
IE.

Basically, if the user tries to access any other url will be redirect to
this page (say thesite.com/admin/stop-using-ie-moron).

So this checking must be done everytime before accessing any controller.

I guess you have a login screen, why not doing it there only? Do some
Javascript magic and redirect if the user uses IE.
Other solution would be to create a request listener. Check Agent Header
there and throw an exception or s redirect if an IE is detected.

*I guess you have a login screen, why not doing it there only?*
There's no login screen, it's not exactly and admin but a file repository.
There's no access to this server from the outside, so there's no need to
login or user check

I'll check that, thanks!

That just sounds like a horrible idea :/ I could see checking for older versions, but seriously flawed otherwise.

Just use HTML5 Boilerplate for example. Don't do it on server side, server
shouldn't care about user's agent.

Wouldn't it be better to just add some note to the main page that informs
users that the site doesn't support IE? Or are they  stubborn enough that
they'll use IE any way - and to hell with the consequences (although I
suppose they just won't be able to use javascript-based UI properly)?

For older, known versions of IE, you could just make such message stand out
more (e.g. significantly enlarge the text, change its color etc.)...
