Can someone tell me how to identify Java capable
browsers from a CGI program? I know I can look
at USER_AGENT, but that just gives me something
like: Mozilla/2.01Gold (WinNT; I)

So, then, I have to know what USER_AGENT is passed
from every single Java capable browser! Does
someone have a list of this info?

Even then you don't know, because the user might have turned off Java
support via some kind of security preferences setting.
